In knitting news, I have been shirking my vow to knit two rows per day on the aran. I am still working on the second sock. I have been commissioned to make a baby sweater for a friend. I am making a child's chemo cap, which is horribly depressing.
But I want to push everything aside and start on this immediately.
I am in love with that sweater.

So is my perception. I didn't notice the title of your post at first, and I didn't even notice the owls. I just thought, wow, buttons that do nothing but look nice. I didn't know they were watching me.
Two days ago, you told me about this Sis B post:
I hope that folks find out how rewarding it is to volunteer and to make positive change in the world, and continue to do it.
You're doing it.
I am making a child's chemo cap, which is horribly depressing.
But the child may be a little less depressed knowing that someone - you - went to the trouble of making that cap for them.
The owls can wait for you, even if you can't wait for them ...
Posted by: Amritas at January 22, 2009 02:02 PMYes, I didn't need Obama to get me to volunteer; I've been charity knitting for two years now, several hours per week. And hopefully will continue doing it, if it's not made illegal.
Posted by: Sarah at January 22, 2009 02:12 PMThat is a really cute sweater. I see several variations on it. Do you think you could make a little preemie cap with that design, or maybe little sweaters for them, in colors that complement yellow owl eyes? That pattern is just unbelievably cute.
