Strigidae Bubo: the CAL
Here we are again. Another week, another section. I hope you're enjoying yourself.
This week you will be adding some "feathers" to your Bubo. That may seem a bit intimidating, but in reality you will be working a series of triple crochet clusters (trcl). Once the trcl round is complete you will then fill in the spaces between them with a background color.
Your Bubo is growing by 10 rounds this week. Let's get started.
