New Design Project! The Inara Cowl

As if i didn't have enough in my yarn bowl... ^.^
I started something new! I found this yarn at Michaels. It's Patons Lace in Arctic Plum. It is THE prettiest colour I have ever seen. I needed to get it. So I pulled up the Michaels 50% off coupon on my phone and bought it. Then I started knitting it up into the "You Are My Sunshine" cowl but then I decided that I didn't want the stripes in it. So it will be just straight open work lace from bottom to top... hence the Inara Cowl was born. A new pattern design for me. Woot!

We'll see how it turns out...

New Design Project! The "You Are My Sunshine" Cowl

I'm getting anxious about the knitting class I'm taking next week.
So I just need to knit SOMETHING! :D

I've been trying to find an openwork, lacy looking cowl pattern that was ka-razy simple to do. I've looked everywhere but with no luck. :( So I decide to try and make one up for myself... I'm winging it as we speak. This is the 3rd project I've ever done in the round... but it's my first I've ever tried without a pattern.

A-a-and here it is... so far... The "You Are My Sunshine" Cowl.

I'm using a meri-cash yarn (merino wool and cashmere) by Punta Yarns in "butterscotch." It's feels incredibly soft and luxurious but light as well. I can't wait to finish this for the transition from winter to spring! ^.^
Wish me luck!

*fingers crossed*
