. It is a good thing this design is so darn cute or I might just have to say forget it.   The numbers on this thing are really far off.  Must not have done much test knitting for this pattern.  Makes me think about how hard it is to find a very well written pattern. ...

Owls sweater is nearly complete… . So, I decided against the sleeves after all.  I started knitting them in the round (tackled magic loop).  Hate to admit I actually didn’t mind magic loop this time.  But…I ended up ripping out the sleeves and...
