Knitting: Animal Toy
This little owl is knitted in pieces and seamed together. Most of the pieces are circles knit flat as a spiral. I used magic loop, but the pattern can easily be knit on dpns. I used 12mm safety eyes and a polyester stuffing. Its a quick and easy project.

Knitting: Hanging Ornament
You can knit up quite a few of these mini sweater decorations in no time. Pattern is a basic template for a 4 inch top down raglan sweater. There are so many decorative details that can be added… color work, stripes, a cable, the list goes on and on.
