I modified my owl a bit; he seems more alert now. I'm glad I was able to inject a bit of whimsy into a practical pair of brown socks. Whimsy is meant to be shared:Owl Cable Insert for top-down socks:
1. P2, K8, P2
2. P2, C4F, C4B, P2
3-5. P2, K8, P2
6. P2, C4F, C4B, P2
7 -13. P2, K8, P2
14. P2, C4F, C4B, P2
15. P4, K4, P4
16. K
To work this into a toe-up or bottom-up knit, reverse it ( start with row 16, and cable C4B C4F).

i love these socks. i LURVE these socks. i have an owl-cable project planned for my post-christmas-knitting future too... they're just the most whimsical little thing. i love your socks. you could even use those little bugle beads (right word?) for eyes on something the scale of a sock!
Thank you! I'm knitting these into my hat tonight. Purrfect.
I love yours!
I love your socks. The little owl is adorable. :-)
I HeArT your socks. I love the little addition of the white eyes. perfection!
That is so cool! I love owls and I think this would be perfect for my next pair of socks. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Ahh, now I see the owl. I tried really hard before but couldn't. I love how you put in the eyes, very cute!
Oh my goodness, how I love this! And using beads! Ugh! I'm in heaven.
Alert? Or DEMONIC?!?!?!?
Ha - just kidding! I love those owls!
You know, the owl is adorable and very cool ... and a little bit disconcerting. Those eyes! They know too much ...

I love it! LOVE it!
Thank you so much for sharing the owl mods. It's darling!
Oh that owl rocks! He is amazing. Great job!
Great minds think alike.
I made some owl socks too! I was disappointed in how they came out. Not particularly recognizable as owls. I have them wrapped up and delivered to my brother for Christmas. We'll see if he recognizes owls in them when he opens them.
I LOVE your modifications!!! Thanks for sharing them. I'm going to have to try another pair now.
