The model I was going to use is now unavailable, and all the other bairns I know at the moment are very young. Are you, or do you know, a kid of 12-14 months that would like to try on this golden owlet? Are you in Edinburgh? If so, please stop me from approaching random mothers in the street and email: wazzukiATgmail.com.

I mean, that color and those buttons. (Thanks for making the grown-up pattern a freebie.)

Beautiful colour in this one. I’d like to know which yarn you used, can you tell, please?
Hope you can find a little model!

Well I know lots of small people – and I’ve got a cherub of my own, with blond curls and blue eyes, but he’s 2 and despite being on the small side, he’d never fit into your lovely owlet…. but i dont think I know anyone that fits your requirements…the closest person I can think of is a well-built 20 months and the same size as my son! Alas

I too know of adorable photogenic children – aged 1 and 2 (yes, their mum looks like a zombie!!) Slightly nearer than your other offers – they are just down the M9 in Larbert!! I love the owl sweaters in all their sizes and colours – but the to-do list is closed at the moment….

Such a fun sweater! My 2y old came up by my side while I had your blog post open and she said “Ahhh Söt Mamma” (Ahhh sweet Mamma) :) And indeed it is really lovely! Looks like your pattern will be the next toddler sweater on my needles!

I have a child (the dotee, my grand-daughter) who will make a perfect recipient for an owlet jumper once you post the design and I knit it. The design’s such fun and I’m already anticipating the pleasure it will give me, and (I hope) her.

Yes I have suitable aged child also but alas on the opposite side of the globe! I am very much looking forward to the smaller patterns as I’d thought about doing a mini-owl for one of my girls at some stage but now I won’t have to sit down and work it all out myself! Great.
I love those buttons too!

I too have enjoyed reading the comments, especially the stories from mothers. Your sweater is lovely and the buttons do make the design pop.

This is very off topic, but yesterday I attended a lecture about the state of French studies in the UK and the damaging effects of the RAE–have you had experience with this? I’m so curious so hear more about it…

My wee one is now 4 1/2, and in the US… no where near you. But I must say…this is adorable, and absolutely fantastic. And those buttons…where did you get those buttons? They are the bestest, most perfect buttons ever!

So cute that your advertising for an owlet!!…..I would just hang around some child friendly spot with your wee sweater and I bet you’ll get folks coming over to you!…what about asking through Knit1 if they know of anyone?…I have a friend in Edinburgh with a smaller bairn than you need but she may know of some older babes….I could ask her if you like?

We have a child (grandson, actually) – blond curls, blue eyed and cherub like. Sadly, we are in Oklahoma. A bit far to Edinburgh, though he is a good traveler.

Alas, no child to offer. Good luck finding someone though!

When my three were young and we were living, very unhappily, in Edinburgh my life seemed to consist of ‘interventions’ by elderly Edinburgh ladies who couldn’t wait to put me right on something my children were doing or not doing. If someone had approached me and asked my toddler to model a sweater I would not only have kissed her feet I might even have not fought really hard to escape from Scotland! My children now moan that I am forever chatting to women with small children on the bus and tube assuring them that they are doing a fantastic job and that as auntieintellectual says things do get better. That jumper is, by the way, really lovely.

Oh, go ahead and stop a random mother. When my kids were that small the only thing that kept me going was random kindnesses occasionally offered by complete strangers. Pick one with slightly puffy eyes and a glazed expression on her sleep-deprived face. Coo over her adorable child and tell her that things do get better. She will thank you for it, and you will get your pictures.

I have the child for you! But he’s here in New York state! Alas!
Your work is so finely made, I am in wonder every time you show something. Thank you for inspiring me to try a little harder in all I do!

Those buttons are perhaps the best buttons ever in the history of buttons.
(I have no littlies in Edinburgh to offer you. I do, however, have many people who have taken one look at my owls and said “that would make such a great sweater for a young girl” – a few of them in, or soon to be in, possession of said young girls – so I can at least tell you I will be knitting the wee versions at some point.)
