This knit's short row-induced structure yields a magical piece of neck wear - cozy but not bulky, staying put as effortlessly as the pattern notes promise.
I gave this piece to my "coolest" friend ever. In my mind's eye she's always wearing a scarf. After giving her the thing and re-checking online photos I see its long scarves she wears. Not cowls.
Oh well, "if the horse has bolted its too late the close the barn doors". Its been gifted and importantly I know she appreciated the gesture. I might make another one for someone who would wear and enjoy one - Me!
Bottom line; not so great matching of recipient with knit but great pattern and very satisfactory FO.
Tomorrow more catching up the blog with my knitting. 'Onward to a knit from last January/ February.
Thanks for dropping by!
lovely to see you back blogging again, I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll convert you friend from long scarves to stylish and practical cowls. I like this 'dingy' pink. My mother used to have some talcum powder called 'ashes of roses' which I imagine to be something like this colour.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear it wasn't a great match for the recipient. But, who knows, maybe she'll try it out and find she really likes it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that style of cowl and have a couple of them in my Ravelry queue. I hope to get one done before winter. They look warm, comfy and very cute!
Hee Hee - What I like - besides the cowl and having you wrtiting blog posts again - is your exxpression about the horse bolting.
