papier-maché

(both cameras were on holidays the last weeks; 
one in egypt with my third owlsister, the other went to heidelberg with M.)

working on a mohair shawl/scarf with ruffles,
a sweater (simple outdoor sweater in grey -
raglan construction, scoop neck, big needles),
a seed st cowl,
a bunch of hats for x-mas gifting,
some cute crocheted owls,.....and many more
