the story of the o w l sweater
July 8, 2012
Reblogged from Kate Davies Designs:
Back in November 2008 I was swatching with some nice grey Rowan yarn. I thought at first that it wanted to become bobbles - I had an idea that I would make a sweater inspired by the texture of the arses of some wonderful rhinos I had recently encountered (no joke - see this post). But I also had another thought - to make a sweater featuring the owl cable - a stitch pattern that has been around since (at least) the 1940s, featuring mostly on children's garments.
