Mediterranian Clapochet

I finally made the Clapochet scarf/shawl which is a pattern by Crochet Kitten.  I used Stitch Nation Full o' Sheep by Red Heart Yarn in the mediterranian color (the true color is more turquoise looking than the picture shows.  It took 3.2 skeins.  It is made on the diagonal and is about 6 feet long.  If I had shortened the length a little, I could have gotten away with just 3 skeins.  What to do with the extra yarn?  My favorite thing..make a hat, of course.  I found those cute buttons at Wal-Mart. 

The Clapochet is based on the knitted Clapotis pattern by Kate Gilbert. Since my knitting skills are not yet up to par, I opted for the crochet version. Both patterns are free. 

Hoot, Hoot, Hoot Knew? Owls!!!!

Who knew that there were owls hiding in those trees near my home? Headed out in the early morning with the local Audubon Society to see the owls in the area.  We had a great time.  Wish I had a telescopic camera.

The weather was decent.  It got somewhat cold trudging through the snow. (Got a good workout, yeah!)
