Owl Shawl Early Update

This is not my usual update time frame, I normally update every 50 chart rows, but I just had to take photos once I got done with the eyes!  I am beyond excited at how my drawing is coming to life, right before my eyes.  

Creating the Illusion chart from my owl drawing is one thing, but to see the knitting actually look exactly like the drawing itself, is beyond believe.

I have all kinds of ideas running around in my head on all of the possibilities of what I can achieve now that I have mastered the art of charting/knitting in illusion knitting.
