I have finally found a free moment to write up this pattern. Its been a busy time recently. Just finished a bunch of commission work for the magazine. Now I have a lot of left over yarn and no space to stash it, so a stash busting blanket it on the knitting needles while another monster for the book is on the hook, I wish I could do both at the same time, that would be amazing. I've also been trying to organise the craft supplies and its making me think of my imaginary craft room, sigh, one day...
Any Way, the pattern:

Some time ago I bought a little leather purse kit for an owl at Michaels for $1.00. The idea was to use it for a pattern in crochet. You've made it easier. Your purse is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your pattern. I hooked him up and featured it as my Pinspire Me Monday on my blog: http://lifemadecreations.blogspot.com/2011/10/pinspire-me-monday-crochet-owl-pouch.html

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI love what you do but i have no idea wutsoeva about crocheting.. -.- so if you have any spare time could do a level 0 beginners pattern for something? :D
That is way cute! I have been wanting to make a owl purse--just a small one. This is much cuter than whatever I can make!
ReplyDeleteLove this. I am going to use it for a cell phone holder! A few times I have no pocket, no bra, so no where for the phone. Voila, going to add a chain stitch length for the neck, on eah side, no zipper, no lining. I can hardly wait. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo CUTE!! I have a friend who collects owls, so THANK YOU so much for sharing your pattern! I'll have to make her one of these, for sure, sometime, and I imagine one for myself! ~tina
ReplyDeleteI can not crochet but I think it looks awesome!
