We like Ike – last Brown Owls for 2008

Yes, last night was the final Brown Owls for 2008, and the final meeting at the clubhouse (since there are new exciting plans afoot for next year).  We had Ike Rosen owl stitcheries to do.

 I like Ike - last Brown Owls for 2008 by you.

See, there is mine, all in it’s hoop and ready to go at the beginning of the evening.  Those owls are just so cute!  But whoops, it looked the same at the end of the evening!  I crocheted instead.  I’ve just started a Sweet Lorraine scarf in beautiful supersoft 12ply merino from Pear Tree Yarn, and I just couldn’t resist it.  I did have to spend quite some time winding a skein into a ball (and untangling it as I went) but the scarf is now well and truly under way.  I “bought” the gorgeous squishy balls of yarn in the photo from the Brown Owls shop – maybe for a hat?  What generosity!

Thanks again to Kirsty and Pip for running Brown Owls.  Words are insufficient to express how much I appreciate their efforts and how much I’ve enjoyed meeting a new circle of friends who share my crafty interests.  Thanks to everyone else involved and to all the people I’ve met.  Can’t wait for next year!
