Knit Design Project: Inara Cowl... DONE!

So it's finally done! *phew*

I think my Inara Cowl that I designed turned out pretty good. :) It's warm and cozy but light and airy so its great for the transitioning weather between winter and spring. Plus it gets breezy here on the island so it keeps the chill off quite nicely.

The only complaint I have about making this cowl was the yarn. The Patons Lace that I used was crazy to work with. No matter how carefully and slowly I pulled from the ball it would get snagged and cause a bunch of problems. I guess that's due to the mohair cling to itself. Plus I counted at least four yarn barfs that slowed things down a lot. If I absolutely HAVE to use this yarn again I will definitely draw the yarn from the outside.

But all in all it was a wonderful little project. It makes a nice snood too, doesn't it? :)

Knit Project:You Are My Sunshine Cowl! Complete!

It's finally finished! My First Cowl Design! Woot!

There are a few kinks to work out in the pattern but I think it turned out pretty well :) Light and airy but warm and cozy. It's great for this winter-into-spring weather.

it's worn relaxed and open for the milder days and... because of the all the "eyelets" I decided to run a cord through them to get it to cozy up to the neck on the cooler days.

It took a while... But I'm just happy that it's FINALLY done! ^.^
