Seamus's son

Mike retired last friday...woohoo he is very excited and enjoying the need NOT to get up early to go to work each day. Mind you he still wakes up early:)
I bought him some lovely long stem red roses and a hellium filled balloon to mark the occasion. I also made him a card.

He wished to give a lady he worked with recently a little owl like Seamus (see earlier post). Smaller than Seamus was easy I chose a 4ply wool instead of 8ply and used size 12 (2.75mm) needles. He turned out to be about 6cm tall and a fraction wider.
Very cute we thought.
