little trinkets

All of a sudden, I felt the urge to pull out the embroidery basket today...

One of the girls at work is having a bit of a rough time of it lately, and because we have previously discussed our mutual fondness for owls, I decided to make her this in an attempt to brighten her day a little...



a felt badge, embroidered and appliqued

(yarnzoo is my little etsy fantasy name, one day I hope to branch out further than just the name!)

I'm particularly happy with the owl's fluffy ears!

On the knitting front, my Rowena cardigan grows ever closer towards completion - both sides of the body are done, including blocking, and I'm currently half way up the first sleeve. It's been a very enjoyable knit thus far, and I do hope the love affair continues!

And thank you for all the lovely comments on my version of the Calorimetry - it has kept my head (and ears and neck!) very warm these last few days...
