At work we just got a new drapery/canvas fabric with neon pink & green owls. The manager was setting up a feature window with this and it’s complementary set and commented that I should make “one of those critters you like to make” to sit on the couch in the display.

Instantly I recalled the obnoxious neon VIVID yarn we sell, grabbed the biggest crochet hook I own (11.5 mm) and set to work replicating the owls from the fabric.

This is the second owl, smaller, made from the remainder of the original green yarn to match the second owl on the fabric.

I’m disappointed with how sloppy he looks. The incredibly thick yarn creates such large, lumpy stitches that the eye & belly patches don’t lie flat or look as round & tidy as they really were.
