Just so funny! Owls! My son-in-law collects them. In fact, they had a cake topper on their wedding cake! When they said they were using an owl decoration for that, we were a bit skeptical. However, it turned out very cute. So, I’m seeing them all over the place now, and it’s okay for you to buy them. lol! BTW, it was an honor to finally meet your wonderful, sweet daughter. I had met your son previously at TU. So happy they were able to come to the wedding!

I always love to see your latest fall decorations! And, your addition this year of owls is special, since I graduated from Rice University in Houston. Our school mascot is the owl, and my husband was the owl keeper. He kept a barn owl in his room in the dorm his junior year, but they had a bigger owl that was kept in an outdoor cage that they took to the games. Anyway, I am a fan. I really love your owl coffee cozy pattern! I just wish you had some crocheted owl pattern links, etc!

I love owls…although it’s kind of creepy how silent their flight is!

love the owls, but have to admit for me it is also squirrels and black crows/ravens!

In the last 2.5 months, we have had over 12 inches of rain in southeast MIchigan! This morning it is sunny and 43 degrees – BRRRR!
Love the stories about the owls at your new home! We had an owl visit us one morning in August. It was the first one we had ever seen on our property and it was beautiful. It was perched on the roof of our barn and was watching the field for breakfast, I’m sure. We may never see it again, but it was definitely worth the experience!

Glad it is raining-here as well! Yay for wet weather and knitting and coffee.

When we moved into our home, a mama barred owl had 3 kids in the old tree across the yard. We annoyed her so she would dive bomb us to scare us from her babies.

I love owls so much I called my studio “Rose Owl”

That is funny you mentioned owls. I am currently knitting mittens from the Charmed Knits book in Gryffindoor colors to send to family members in Germany and I am comtemplating using one of the owl coffee cozy charts to add an owl to the top of the hand., even just one would be great fun. I am glad you are enjoying the rain, so am I. I hope to see snow on Pikes Peak by morning aka Termination dust. Happy Knitting!

Hi Hannah – we started shipping Wollmeise on orders placed on Monday, 9/12, for photos that had already been approved. The system wasn’t set up to add Wollmeise notes to orders (which is how we know which orders to add it to) until after midnight on Sunday. That’s why we stipulated orders placed Monday or later. It looks like your order was placed on Sunday. For more info on this, check Friday’s 9/9 blog post.

You can always email or call us with questions. There’s a “Need Help? Contact Us” green box on the homepage, so that we’re easy to find when you need us!

We’re to have rain tomorrow. I’m planning a non-public clothes afternoon/evening. Thought about you Monday when I went in Starbucks and they had salted caramel mocha (YUM!)
