Thank you. i’ve been waiting for this pattern since i first saw your beautiful sweater. I plan to make it as a gift to my sister. however, the moment my mother saw the picture, she wanted it too. it seems i’m making two.

Hi!
I love your Owl 2 sweater and would love to knit one. However, I’ve been unable to download the pattern. When I click on “designs”, the screen does not change and I do not see a “PDF” to click one.
Is there another way to obtain this pattern?
Thanks,
Jan Larson
Love your owls – cant wait to get started. Thanks for sharing.
I love the pattern. Have you thought about a child version?
Thank you for letting us know about an updated pattern. I have this in my queue to work on. I would love to make one this winter.
I finished this sweater last night and I’m wearing it at work right now. It was a blast to work through, went very quickly, and fits really beautifully. Thank you so much, it’s rad!
Thank you so much! I love owls and this is the first sweater that I have found with owls that I really want to make. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the nice pattern – it was fun to knit and is even more fun zu wear my new pets.
Thank you for sharing the pattern. Read on a Danish-page that the pattern will be available in Danish – is that right?
Hi! I love this sweater already, thank you for sharing the pattern, I can hardly wait to get started.
I just wanted to say thank you for writing the pattern. I’d forgotten about it until I was rifling through my favourites on Ravelry. I had to suppress a squeal when I realised there was a pattern! Thank you, you are very kind :-)
Thank you so much for sharing, cannot wait to try this one!!
For Jan Larsen who could not view the pdf: I had the same problem while using Safari; I tried Firefox and was able to download the pdf. I hope that helps!

Thank you ever so much.

Hello!
I’ve just come across your adorable adult owl sweater. Love it!
I’m a beginner knitter and have so far only managed a scarf and a very small hat, but I’d love to try this sweater out at some point in the distant future! I’m not sure if you’re still sending out the pattern by email, but if so, I’d love a copy so that I could keep it as something to work towards.
Thanks very much and keep up the good work – your site is an inspiration!

I recently purchased your pattern/Cloud sweater to make as a birthday present for my daughter. I have been corresponding with Mr. Price/ the yarn supplier. Please advise the approximate yardage used to knit your sweater model. I will have to knit a larger size and I would like to be sure to purchase sufficient yarn. Thank you in advance for this information. Unable to send e mail listed on your site. Judith Gustafson
gorgeous, i love owl and this sweater….

I just tried buying your owlet pattern with paypal. Some how I got the wrong pattern (lyttelton)… I was wondering if you could e-mail me the owlet pattern… Thanks, I’m super excited to make this sweater for my 2 year old.
Jen
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!
Jen
Hey,
I just wanted to say that I think your owl designs are beautiful. I’ve just bought the owlet pattern, in the hope I can get one ready for my boyfriend’s niece’s next birthday. Many thanks for sharing.
Me encantaron tus disenos tejidos y tambien el bordado aproposito de las companeras de Juarez.
Gracias

Great pattern! I cast on last night. Thanks!
helle, is this pattern in french too ? thanks…

I don’t knit, but I love these designs. Especially the owls and also the doll pattern. Wow!
I love all of your patterns. That shrug is so adorable on you!
Pingback: Oh, God, I can see forever! « Knitting Kninja
I very much enjoy your site, your patterns and, as an ex-historian, especially appreciate your historical perspective on knitting and textiles. The mini manu is wonderful and I hope to knit it for one (or both) of my daughters. Can you enter me in your draw?
All the best for your recovery,
Sierra
Thank you so much for making your o w l s pattern! It was the first knitted pattern for a jumper I ever saw that I liked and it’s my second (Melbourne) winter with it now and I LOVE it so much.
Thank you!
Meredith
I love love love love your work. The owl is my favourite one !
thank you!
there are some beautiful patterns here, thank you. so lovely to see knitting in such a modern accessible style.
lovely to see styles adapted for little ones/ and maybe babies too?
thanks
I enjoyed visiting your blog. Your knitting is fantastic. Your “baker” seems to be a great person and I have enjoyed reading about your efforts in your recovery. I am proud of you! Enjoy your beautiful world and keep on facing each day brilliantly!!
Trish, El Paso, Texas USA
I have only just discovered your site but am utterly awestruck. Your designs are beautiful and I will be buying patterns soon
hi, i would really like to get one of the owl jumpers you do… the later version also i would like it in a size ten….. the problem is i cant knit!!! :-( would there be any chance of you knitting one and selling it to me? pleeeeeaaase :-) its for my girlfriend. thank you, mark
Sorry, Mark, I only sell patterns for the sweater – you’ll have to find someone to knit one for you . . .or learn to knit! cheers Kate
WOW! I love the owl designs. You are quite talented. Thank you so much!
Hi!
I crochet, but do not knit. Is there any way to convert the lovely pattern for the owl sweater from knit to crochet? It is a beauty!
WOW! Your designs are fantastic! I’ve begged my mom to knit me an owl sweater … Anything beyond a scarf is beyond me. ;)
Be well,
Shirlee
Love your designs – especially the one with owls :)
Just downloaded your Owl pattern, looking forward to knitting it as soon as my yarn arrives ;-)
I might be able to find some good ones at my local store, but I was wondering which buttons are used on your model?
Wow! They aren’t all handmade, are they??
The owl sweater was on Only Connect! Worn by Penny Heal on Series 4. Ep. 7.
See it for a limited time here:

Hi, I am considering making the owl sweater but I am not sure I have enough yarn… Is there any chance you can add the yarn requirements to your pattern description? thanks!
done!
Kate, I love the owl sweater for women but I’m not a knitter. Is there a place to buy the finished product. My maiden name is Wise and I’ve always adopted my mothers love for owls. She loved owls before she even met my father, can you let me know. I just HAVE to HAVE one of those sweaters!!!
Thank you so much for posting this pattern. My grandmother used to knit owl potholders that I remember very fondly. I just LOVE the idea that they can be knit into the yoke of a sweater/pullover. As many have said, I can’t wait to get started.
Hello Kate,
Your owl sweater is gorgeous! I would like to make the owl sweater for my niece, but I was wondering if an inexperience knitter would be able to create this lovely sweater . I have basically only played around with knitting needles and have never created a whole piece.
Sincerely,
Melissa
Can you tell me what the date is on the most recent Owl pattern? The one I bought is dated January 2010 – is that the most recent one?
Thanks!
No problem – Jan 2010 was the most recent update – so you should have the correct version.
Happy Knitting!
Yay! Thanks! Planning to get the yarn this week!
Beautiful!
Bonjour,
Je suis française et cherche les explications en français du modèle OWLS pour femme que j’ai trouvé sur le site Ravely. Pouvez-vous me dire où je pourrais me les procurer ?
Merci par avance de votre réponse quelle qu’elle soit.
Cordialement
Annie
Hi Annie, Regretfully, I’m afraid the o w l s pattern is not available in any language other than English (due to repeated problems with unauthorised copying and resale). my apologies Kate
Hi.. I just discovered your Deco sweater on Ravelry. It’s a great cardigan and I love the color! Are you still planning to write up a pattern for it? If so, I look forward to making it as are many others judging by the comments about your sweater on Ravelry. Thanks!
Hi Kate,
I am wanting to take up knitting, and wanted to get your advice. I love all of your work, but am especially eager to try the manu and the owl sweaters. Am I way above my head here? I haven’t done any kind of knitting since I was a kid and my grandmother taught me… Thanks! :)
I would like to complement you on your beautiful designs. Thank you for sharing your story. You’re a strong person I wish you all the best of health. Love the Manu sweater is geourgous. I found your sweater design, knitted by a prolific Ravelry member name Roko, she has a great taste. And that’s how I found you’re website.. Oh, by the way, love your taste in clothes too.
Best wishes. Mabel
Hello! Thank you for sharing your designs, they’re wonderful and amazing!I’m a beginner, I hope I will be able to make them soon. I love your taste, it’ so “Nordic”(I’m Italian!) and the sweater with the little cluod is ingenious!
CIAO!
Hi. Just wanted to say what great designs you have. Have found them through knitters review that mentions Deco so followed that link as I love art deco. I will definately be ordering patterns. I have been viewing on my iPhone so want to check them out more on my laptop.
Your designs are beautiful! and the photography displays them very well!
I have been learning all about 4 species of owls of the Central Coast of Northern California, and have always been interested in Owls. I have many collectables. I love your hats, and sweaters. I dont know how to knit, too bad. Just yesterday found 2 babies in a 90 ft Cypress tree. Cant believe it, hope the pictures come out.
hi!
I really love the owls! It´s so nice to just look at end I have a little dream to knit one to myself. The problem is that I’m really bad at english end to follow someone elses work… do you know if there is an account ( have no idea if its right word) in swedish? or dannish or something? other way I think that I have to get some help. Because I have to knit this! /Emma Sweden
Hi Emma,
Glad you like the sweater – but I’m afraid there are no translations of my designs as I can’t provide pattern support in other languages. I do know, though, that there are several Danish / Swedish knitters who have successfully made this pattern. Perhaps you might try getting some help in one of the groups on Ravelry?
best wishes
Kate
Dear Kate,
I have so enjoyed knitting baby owlet for my grandaughter. I am a self taught knitter, beginning when I was 6 years old, but never learnt how to do cables or any of the other techniques in this pattern. Your instructions were so clear that I was able to master each technique without any trouble. Thank you for taking the time and effort to write them so well.
Also, keep at the walking, you will get there. My days of climbing mountains are at an end after I had the ligament removed from my knee (I keep falling over everytime I turn sideways) but I cllimb them again every time I read your blog.
Cheers
Carolyn
Dear Kate,
Hope you all had a fantastic holiday! I’m unsure if you have received my previous e-mails so thought it best if I try again. (i’m really sorry if you have received them) I would like to buy hard copies of the knitting patterns Manu, Warriston, Betty Mouat & Deco due to being unable to print them off. If you could let me know how much the cost would be & how to proceed that would be great.
Kind regards
Tina Will
HI Kate, we have met before as I work at Northumbria – I had heard of the 18th-C grapevine you had been ill but had no idea how serious it was; I am in awe of your courage and bloody-minded resilience, and your fabulous knitting patterns! Similarly had not an idea that you were a knitter / designer, so obviously didn’t know you very well I am returning to knitting as a way of shutting down from academia, and found this whilst looking for inspiraiton – can’t wait to get back up to speed and attempt the fabulous tortoise and hare, though that might take a while!!
Hi Virginia, you can buy the owl pattern here on my designs page:

Kate
Oh my! Fell in love with the sheep hat when following a picture link for Sashiko patterns! Thank you so much for this pattern which is far above my current skill level of super-nube! I love it! And thank you for the fast and easy avenue of purchase and download! I had it in minutes! I love being able to store a copy of the pattern in my Ravelry account, as well. Off to look at more of your offerings and drool!
Your designs are beautiful and inspiring….and I enjoy reading your blog.
Hello, I was waiting for Betty Mouat, will you show this design? Thanks
I totally love the Warriston..very cute and simply elegant..Can i order from Kenya?
Thank you for posted such lovely pattern… best wish!
Hallo !
I love the patterns that are Fair Isle-related, with the Flowers on the hat !!
Do you have a knitting-book to buy ?
I am interested in the Fleurie? pattern for a hat.

I really can’t wait to start this project. It will be the first thing I’ve knitted for myself so very, very excited! It really is gorgeous. :)
Hello Kate!
I´m very grateful! Your patterns are lovely and I enjoy so much knitting them. I already knitted the ” Paper dolls” and the ” Olws”. Currently, I am knitting the” Sheep Heid”. I found this pattern so gorgeus as I am a fan of sheeps and their wool. I spin wool and I felt and I am surounded by wool. Wool it´s my therapy and your patterns truly enrich my life.
Thank you very much.
Susana.
I found your site by searching for a tote bag for my knitting friend – your free tote pattern will make the perfect bag for her Christmas gift of handspun yarn and a book!
…and, then, I started looking around. Your designs are all stunning. So, I just ordered your Owl sweater pattern for me….. Love yoke sweaters and this one is charming. I’m going to leave the eyes off and simply have the beautiful cables showing. Thank-you and have a lovely holiday.
Claudette
you r very creative, these are really beautiful. im sure, it is very enjoyable to knit with these colours and patterns.. thanks for sharing them :)
I just bought your owlet pattern to knit up for my little girl. I can’t wait to start it. I’d love to see more kids knits… or men’s knits. – Dan
where is the dress / skirt from that the adult is wearing in the manu photo?
lovely creations!
Do you create and sell these items?? They are fantastic. Love the owl and tortise/hare sweaters.
Such a lovely website! And I just stumbled in. Look forward to more communications. –jane
Found your site on spillyjane blog. Love your colourwork patterns. I have been knitting for a year. Hope to tackle one of your patterns soon! Read your about Me its comforting to read such determination in oneself, it gives hope to others.
I LOVE your designs!!!
Oh my goodness, these are so beautiful I wish I was a better knitter. Must practice!
Hello Kate-
I discovered your blog through Ravelry and am enjoying it so much- not just because of your incredible and very inspiring designs and skills, and not just because you are adding to and preserving Scottish women’s histories; but also because it is so good to read. Pretty things on pretty blogs abound on the interweb- but pretty things, personal reflection and a dash of academic thought-provocation: good, good combo.
One thing I was wondering: are all of your designs at a similar skill level? I am but a baby in the knitting world (more at home with needle and thread than pins and yarn) and would love to try one of your patterns, but is there a good ‘entry level’ one?
Many thanks and best of luck with your knitterly endeavours…
Sasha
I just saw you’re owl sweater on FFFFound! and had to check out your work. I love your style! Keep up the great work.
Hello, Kate. I had the good fortune of discovering your blog through a mention on the Renaissance Dyeing site. It is interesting and inspiring on so many levels. I finally had to go back to the very beginning to read all of it. Next I had the pleasure of choosing a pattern (well, three) to order. You now have another enthusiastic reader cheering you on in all of your endeavors.
Hi Kate, I just love your style! The moebius is nearly one of my favorites here! I have started knitting a few in one piece and have shaped them to fit the shoulders smoothly. They are very addictive to knit. And your photos are very beautiful, too! The story of your recovery was very moving to read. Thank you for sharing that. My mother had a stroke when she was very young and unfortunately nobody knew that this happened to her – and she didn’t receive help early enough, so unfortunately didn’t recover.
Good evening, my sister has bought from you the shirt with the owls, but I do not know which size is right for me I wear a size 46 Italian
I kindly ask you to help me, I can not find a conversion table. Many thanks to Cristina
I am sooooo happy I found your site…. what a wonderful surprise, I really adore your patterns!!! All of them!!! How can I get them? I already made a variation of your owl sweater, not knowing it was yours!!! I kept the photo for years before trying it! I’d love to make all of your patterns…. at least, try to…. wauwwwww
sooo lovely design! thank you for your posting.
Kate, I am missing your blog, and keeping you in my prayers. Thank you for many small holidays at your website, enjoying your thoughts, photos, and knitting.
Kate, I love your blog and your sense of style. I want to thank you for sharing and also for inspiring me to translate my own thoughts and environment into stitches.
Thank you for such lovely themes and inspiring designs. Simply lovely, every one.
The two newest Bláithín cardigans with the peri’s!!!okay I caved and bought both! :) And then had to go get the “Rams and Ewes”!
All your designs are so amazingly wonderful! I’m in love. There are several I definitely going to knit for myself and for my little girl. Thank you very much! Greetings from Estonia.
Your work is so inspiring! I’ve only started knitting so when I get really good I will try the cloud hoodie and owl sweater. Thank you so much!
Just bought the owlets pattern, can’t wait to knit it for my granddaughters!
I created a PayPal account just so i can buy your designs. They are amazing and i just hope i can knit them properly! :D
Your designs are truely an inspiration. I am so pleased to see shetland wool and traditional knitting styles being reinterpreted, and I will be looking here for ideas for many projects to come!

i have been looking for the design that is at the head of this page and don’t see it on your website. Is it a wrap? the one with purple, grey, and turquoise and a wave-like design. Please tell me where to find more information about it and what it is called.
thanks
Hi Roxanne, this is the Northmavine Hap — it will be published in my new collection, Colours of Shetland, on December 3rd. There are more pictures of it in this post: http://katedaviesdesigns.com/2012/11/09/a-taste-of-northmavine/
Oh my gosh! I’m in love with your patterns. I’m going to send your website to all my knitting friends! Maxine
