I actually finished it almost 2 months ago, in early October, and I put it on as soon as I did. Hubby said, "That's really cool, the way those two pieces link together!" He's a man of taste and discretion, I tell you!
I'm very happy with the way this turned out, and I've still got one more skein of the Lupin Cascade Cloud. I'm planning on turning it into some matching mitts or a hat. Despite a couple bumps in the road (my own fault, for not reading the directions through) this was a joy to knit. Definitely recommended!
Here it is in my powder room mirror, as I was on my way out the door the day I finished it. The light isn't great in there; the color is much more accurate in the above photo.
On that day I had to take it off after about a half hour - we were having unseasonably warm weather. But now winter has begun, so I can start actually wearing it!
Ooh, the cowl(s) look so beautiful on you!! Yes, winter is settling in so I'll be pulling my out to wear this week.
ReplyDeleteLovely! That shade of blue, the stitch patterns, everything!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that is CUTE! Brb... OK, I've got the pattern now. ;-) I have no idea why I'm so much more drawn to cowls than scarves, but that does seem to be the case. Love it, and it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab - I love the idea of this cowl - and your colour choices are great :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great cowls and how fun to make these with a BFF!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Gail and something I would love to do one day.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Seeing as you already have one of these cowls, I may have to get Cristina to knit one with me :)
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI was actually wondering if you two had finished the cowls just today! It looks wonderful, I'm looking forward to reading Evelyn's post on the project next! It looks great on you too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool idea! If only I had a knitting BFF! :)
