I started Danica in SWS (Natural Navy) waaaaay too long ago. School took over, I put my project away but in the face of final exams, I decided to procrastinate. Et voila! I haven't blocked it yet. And ignore the scratch below my eye...I was mauled by a stray, overgrown German Shepherd puppy this morning.

I also found the pattern to be troublesome in that the owls are placed too high on my head to really see them. I left out five of the top St. st. rounds and now my hat is too short! I might frog to the top of the owls and lengthen it. If anyone else makes this, follow autumnelayne's advice and move the cables closer to the ribbing.

I loved the OP's bags so much I had to make my own. First sewing project ever! Thanks for the great tutorial!


The interior is the peachy fabric of the top cuff. Now it needs to hurry up and become spring here in Seattle so I can use the damn thing!
