It feels like a long time since I sat down and did a crochet project start to finish, so this weekend I spent some time trying for just that. I went through a bunch of links on Crochet Pattern Central and even printed out two (though one went into the recycling shortly thereafter when I realized it had printed with a significant part of the right end of each line cut off). I sorted through my books of patterns and even began making a dragon, from a pattern I’d used before. I also began an orangutan from one of the new patterns, but it wasn’t calling my name.
Finally, yesterday evening I decided to make an owl. I had been working on an owl for a while, the location of which I could not tell you offhand, but I wanted to make a barn owl and also work in embroidery floss, which I hadn’t in quite a while. This is the result:
His feet are made from a black twist tie that extends up his back under his wings and keeps him upright. He’s hanging out with some stained glass shorebirds my grandfather made.
