You might remember seeing this adorable owl on Lisa Spangler's blog early last year (this post is looong overdue!). Her name is Olympia and Lisa sent her to me when I sent her this fun felted flower. Well, soon after Olympia came to live with me, I was inspired to learn crochet. I know how to knit, so it wasn't too much of a stretch to pickup crochet. Within a few weeks - Olympia had a friend... soooo meet Hedwig!
Not too bad for my first crochet project! It was fun, but I don't think I'll be tackling too many other projects like this anytime soon. Just like with knitting, I found that my hands tensed up from working too long. Does that happen to you?

OMG! both of those owls are just the cutest! and i love your little Hedwig so!
my grandmother taught me to crochet, and i used to do it alot. just last year, i picked up my needled again and made my daughter a crocheted ear warmer/headband she'd wanted, a neck gaiter/scarf for myself, and picked up tons of patterns for things i'm looking forward to making!
my hands get cramped up a little too... but it's a fun craft! TFS
I LOVE This... gettin' crafty is more than just stampin... I like crochet.. haven't in a while... so cute!! Miss ya

How adorable! Should have know you'd get around to crocheting eventually.
Thanks! SNW - the pattern I used is the same one that Lisa uses - but modified. http://littlegreen.typepad.com/romansock/instant-crochetification.html
So cute! I saw a crochet book at J's recently w/ owls on the front.. made me want to buy it! I still have the felt flower you made. love it. Eventually got the die for it but have yet to try it. ;)
Oh so cute...Emily! I love the cute heart on it too!
I just love Hedwig, Emily! So glad Olympia has a friend now! And you are so talented -- I've tried to learn how to knit but I just can't get it.
How have you been? Good I hope!
HUGS! :)
