So close it counts

Owl sweater is done!  Almost.  It's drying now, and then I have to sew on the eyes, which I have to wait until we go to a bigger town to buy.  But the knitting and end-weaving-in is done - so I'm calling it!  It came out beautiful, and I can't believe I have to wait until Christmas to see it on her.  But I also can't believe that I have it done so far before Christmas, so that's kind of a trade off.  I'll post a photo as soon as its really, truly dry, but until then, contemplate this.....

 

 

It's somewhere between the size of a walnut and a mandarin orange, and it's all the yarn I had left.  Whew!
