a special birthday gift

My little niece just turned 1 year old last week and I wanted to make something special for her. Her mom has a few owl accessories in her room and I thought this would be a nice addition.I got the idea from Homemade by Jill when she copied it out of the Pottery Barn catalog. I'm not very good a drawing up shapes and designs freehand so I'm not totally happy with the proportions but hey, I doubt it will bother anyone else. Sorry for the bad picture, I finished stuffing it about an hour before the party so I was in a real rush!

You know what I'm dreaming of knitting right now? This shrug. I just love it and it looks perfect for fall!

What are you guys dreaming of knitting right now?

    Really cute! Right now, I dream of finishing my WIPs (I'm a very slow knitter in the summer) to start some socks after!
