![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!
[ID: Veggie rosemary bagel and tuna salad sesame seed bagel with a purple hat in progress.]

I lie down in the soft green grass to take a photo of my owls sweater. As I’m about to take the first picture, I feel a tickle at my waist that can only be one thing.
a fire ant.
I snap upright and am already mentally stripping off clothes when I realize it was only a stray blade of grass. Suddenly, I look super happy in my owl pictures even though it’s not finished and I won’t be wearing it tomorrow.
a. I need to weave in the ends, graft the underarms, redo the collar ribbing and block it.
b. It’s going to be 90 degrees tomorrow.
Maybe we’ll get a cool front next week?

It looks done. And adorable! But the smiling photos are much better than the first one. But, why are you still smiling when you realize you aren’t going to be able to wear it after it’s done? LOL
because there were NO ants!!!! :)
Wow! It looks really, really good. I can’t believe it looks that good before it’s blocked (show off). The collar looks fine. What’s wrong with the ribbing?
I wanted it to be a smidge less tight around my neck….I love being called a show off. :)
Did you use this pattern? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owls-2
a friend did this owl sweater for her daughter and had such trouble because the underarms were too tight and reknit it several times. Did you change anything about the pattern or did the fit work out ok for you?
I will post my mods this Friday…I put 6 sts aside for under the arms instead of 4.
I love it!!
Thanks so much!
90 degrees? Oh I am jealous! Your sweater is GORGEOUS! I love the owls and the color of the sweater.
Thank you so much! You won’t be jealous in August. :)
OMG! It fits beautifully! It looks wonderful! Fingers crossed for cold weather so you can wear it.
I got to wear it a few times….so excited! :)
This sweater is on my list from a while! Your version looks fantastic, love it in brown. What a perfect autumn look! I am dreaming of a long spring for being able to wear wooly knits longer ;)
