Winter Hat Owl Page 6


 Page started Feb 6 and finished Feb 18th.



I finally got to the owl, or his hat, anyway.  Oh my gosh, so much confetti in the hat! I literally had to go line by line and park my threads.  It seemed so slow and arduous!  I actually timed myself and I was averaging a row every 40 minutes.  To say if felt like I wasn't getting anything done was an understatement!   But I persevered, and I finished it last night. 

The colors are so rich and beautiful and I'm loving the dark blues and the rich reds.  

But now it's time to put this little man down and pick up Adrift once again.

I have a date with her tail, and boy, I can hardly wait!

    1. Oh yes, I'm not usually one to give up on a project. There is only one project that I've ever thrown away and that was a beautiful Miribilia angel that my bird got a hold of. She chewed the fabric beyond repair. A few tears were shed over that.

      This owl will be completed. It just might take me longer than I had originally anticipated, is all.

    1. Me too! I think he's going to be an eye popper when I get more into him. I'm so into this project it's crazy. It was hard to put him away for Adrift. But the tail is calling and I must answer her call!

    1. I think it took so much time more in my mind then it actually took! I'm used to getting large blocks of work done in one sitting, so sitting for 3 hours and getting 4 lines done seems excessively slow. But I'm pleased as punch with the outcome!

    1. Really, Rach? Would you have given up? Whenever Im growing bored, I look at the photo of the completed piece and I look at the park I'm working on and try to see where in the photo I am with the pattern. I find that helps big time!
