Titus the Barn Owl

It's exam time in our house at the moment.  Eve has her first A level exam next week and on the same day I have my Open University exam.  So it's revision all the way.  I've been studying geology this year - rocks!  I've spent most of today trying to sort out and analyse my rock samples - but I still get my dolorite and my diorite confused, and don't get me started on the sandstones - subarkose, quartz wacke, quartz arenite!!!!!!!

Any way, I found a bit of time the other day to test a crochet pattern Grace has written, Titus the Barn Owl.  We did some fine tuning of the face, but otherwise her pattern was wonderful.  And here he is...

I gave my version a sleepy face but I think it makes him look a little snooty - an owl with attitude.

I'm so proud of Grace and her creative abilities, it really is a lovely pattern.  It's available for free over on her blog, here.
