Cindy bought a cute magazine called Crochet Today with an adorable owl pattern tucked inside. I decided, following my attempt at a yoga bag (that's for another post, friends) to try this owl. He consisted of several single crochets (sc or sk-uh) with a few sc2togs.
One important rule that I continue to read and blatantly disregard is measuring gauge. Always measure the gauge. Okay. I didn't learn that from the yoga bag. And I did NOT learn it here with the owl.
Ian insisted on helping stuff the owl, so on Sunday afternoon, I rushed to finish the body of the owl, as my son can be very focused on projects. Here he is, adding the fiberfill and showing off what appears to be a very large and decidedly un-adorable owl. Granted the poor thing is missing a beak and wings. But still. You can look and compare. I think you'll see what I mean.

Sc2tog! Mercifully, it doesn't really matter what size the owl turns out to be. I do happen to have enough yarn to continue and try to make the owl the right sc2togging size.
And a thanks to my sc2togger blogger and friend in crochet mishaps for giving us a place to showcase them.

Crocheting, eh?
You might get a kick out of Threadbared. They've stopped updating the site, but there's a goldmine of hilarious patterns (and commentary) there, many of them crocheting projects.
an owl huh? well I guess it is closer than the yoga bag :)
Hi Linda,
Your helper is as cute as they come and I'm sure he's going to love that owl forever and ever.
I still have (though it's falling to ruin) a Winnie-the-Pooh (not crocheted) that my sister made for me ages ago.
Sounds like you are all having fun.
Much Love,
Cindy's Aunt Kathie
I feel your blog really useful and inspiring me. Thank you.

Nice attempt to make owl and it is also much easier to make by anyone.
