More owls, what a hoot!

I'm knitting another Owls. It's in Stylecraft Nature's Way Chunky (that's a mouthful and a half) which is undyed cream wool plied with another undyed wool that comes from a specific sheep breed. Mine is Herdwick, so is a medium grey with the occasional darker grey.
This picture is the best I can find to explain the colours, it's a mixture between the two colours of sheep. It's also an excuse to post a picture of Herdwicks, I love their wee faces and just how resilient they are.

This is a photo of the jumper in question, taken with my poser-tastic Hipstamatic app on my new phone.
I'm hoping this one is going to be a bit less loose than the other. I still love the cashmere one to bits, I just think this will pill less and be a bit more hardwearing in the long run. I think that I'll be putting some buttons on this one too. Buttons on the purple would have been a bit much, but I hope I can find some nice little yellow ones to go as eyes on this one. I'm obsessed with yellow just now, I know not why!
