parliament

Most of these o w l s were knit between the end of January, and March 1st, 2009, when I ran a competition for a gallery of photos of the finished sweater — a parliament of o w l s. The winners of the competition were announced here. There are now several thousand o w l s in existence, and you can see a huge variety of projects and customisations here. Hurrah for o w l knitters!
