I just finished the test knit for the Owen Hat, a Tabitha’s Heart design, and boy did Owen have some adventures along the way… I present to you… The Amazing Traveling Owen Hat.

After spending a few days in the house, Owen decided he needed to get out for a little adventure. He chose the San Francisco Giants’ Stitch n Pitch game as his first stop.

It was a bit sunny but it was windy and it got cold… Owen enjoyed most of the game (until my fingers got too numb to knit anymore). Owen was on the edge of his seat when the umpires had to go to the back to decide on a play using Instant Replay. Boy, was he relieved when the umpires confirmed that the SF Giants had indeed scored a homerun.

Owen enjoyed his experience at:

He liked to see all the people leaving the stadium, it was almost 11 pm – way past his bedtime but he just had to admire the 24 palm trees in honor of Willie Mays in the plaza.

The following day, Owen enjoyed a yummy lunch at Panera. He even convinced me to bring home a baguette so that we could eat it with butter. (Notice Mr. Bubbinsky’s blinging watch…)

After lunch Owen went to Crissy Field in San Francisco and enjoyed watching the kids on the beach

and a nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge

Today, Owen had an amazing brunch

and then he went bowling, first he was in charge of the score (I won the first game).

Then he thought he might want to try his luck at bowling a frame himself but he’s missing some key parts in order to do that successfully.

Owen loved watching wrestling practice, no one wanted to practice with him though because of all his points…

Owen finished his afternoon by warming Mr. Bubbinsky’s head on a cold, windy walk to the store.

Owen has gladly found a new home with Mr. Bubbinsky, who knows what other adventures he’ll have. I have a feeling Owen will be taking a trip to Yosemite very soon.

I’ve knit several Tabitha’s Heart patterns, I highly encourage you check out her patterns to find your next knitting pattern. I’m still working on the Arwen Wrap.
