icanhazowls

so there's owls living in the playground for the school in dearborn park II. they were really puffy because it was so cold.

in other news, i've been working from a whole bunch of vintage patterns that i got my hands on, which is totally awesome. they all have raglan sleeves, and just the construction has been really interesting. i got my hands on a couture pattern from the 30's that i spent a lot of time on.

i finished my first pair of socksthey're regia 6ply. i tried to make the stripes match up and they didn't, so when i gave up on that, they suddenly matched up. but now i understand why soooooooo many knitters make socks. its really rewarding to finish an actual garment in just a few days. i've already figured out what i'm doing for my next pair.
