Due to the small size of the owl I was able to use some scrap yarn I had left over from various other projects. The center of his body is worked from a pink camouflage variegated yarn. (Refer to my previous post regarding my love of variegated yarn.) Next I used a pretty pink yarn followed by the taupe color around the edge of the front and the entire back. I also made the beak out of the taupe yarn. I was considering an orange beak but decided that might be a harsh color contrast.
The things I'm most excited about are the eyes. I prefer using black plastic safety eyes for my amigurumi but when making toys for a baby I try to use only yarn. I have endured much frustration trying to create yarn eyes that are cute, to scale for the project, etc. These eyes were easy and they look great. I'm hoping they'll be adaptable for other projects and not just owls.
My next owl creation has not yet been determined. Stay tuned!
And Missy would like to say "hello".
