No I did not plan on wearing an orange shirt in the picture but it's amusing none the less. Want to know my favorite part about this cowl?
It is capable of extending down over my shoulders. I...LOVE....THIS. Once it's not 103 degrees out like it's been this weekend, this will get so so much use!
So yes, just a quick update with a FO this week. If you've seen my "worksheet" list here, you'll notice I've also filled in another project on it. I'm working on a dragon from Fresh Stitches' "Choose Your Own Dragon" Adventure.
It's also been recently announced in her group on Rav that there will be a CAL for the Dragon shortly after the Ravellenic Games so I foresee a second dragon being made BUT I don't think I'll count that as my YoP amigurumi/month, it may just be a bonus.
fabulous!! very beautiful and i love the color!
ReplyDeleteLove the cowl and well done on getting your first project complete and off the list.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It feels good to start knocking stuff of the list early :)
DeleteLovely cowl! Congratss on your first FO of the "year".
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe cowl looks great. And I love the idea of the CAL. To bad I don't crochet.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I say the same thing about KALs, I CAN knit but not well enough to keep up with a KAL. I always fall behind!
DeleteYay on a FO! May just have to check into the CAL as well,love Stacey's designs.
ReplyDeleteIt's an addicting pattern. I think the CAL is starting beginning of August-ish
DeleteI love the color and the fact that it pulls down over the arms.. I've made a lot of cowls, but nothing like that..
ReplyDeleteI was surprised it was so different than many cowls I've made!
DeleteGood job finishing something already. Love the color and pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteClever you, having one thing ticked off already....the cowl is gorgeous, I love the pattern and versatility.
ReplyDeleteIt'll definitely get good use once the cool weather comes around again!
DeleteGorgeous cowl, and what a beautiful colour that will be in the autumn when the leaves start to fall. Congratulations on your first YoP finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh I wish I hadn't clicked the link for Choose Your Own Dragon - now I want one too! So cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your cowl, and I like that tone-on-tone layering you've got going on with the orange shirt and the orange cowl! You know you can add the pattern to Ravelry if it isn't already there, right?
Yeah I know I could add it to Rav but I like to give the designer a chance first :) The books quite literally JUST came out hehe
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and versatile! I'm loving the color, it suits you.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've always been a fan of orange in just the right shade :)
DeleteWhat a sweet pattern to have it come down over the shoulders--and well done getting something completed already! And yes! I am trying to clear the deck for the games. I just realized I am on vacation for part of it so I will have even more time to knit! :) Your little dragon pattern is just so cute--one more reason I should break down and learn to crochet!
ReplyDelete*smiles*
It's actually not my pattern (the dragon). It was designed by Stacey Trock from freshstitches.com. You should learn how to crochet! It's all single crochet so it's super simple!
DeleteThat's lovely and I think it look fabulous over your shoulders like a little capelet.
ReplyDeleteIf I can make it work to wear it that way while carrying the little one around I will (or maybe I'll just put her in the stroller so I CAN wear it hehe)
DeleteIt looks great! I love that it is convertible.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah I'm a big fan of multi-use projects haha
DeleteGorgeous cowl, and I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very cool cowl. I love how the length makes it flexible to wear - so many options :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to a year of projects - I'm amazed at how many people are crossing things off their lists already!
How gorgeous is that! Wow!! Go you, that's a fabulous start to the year :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cowl, I will look out for that book when it emerges into the wider world. And as for the dragon pattern, could it be more perfect? Thank you so much for pointing it out to me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and congrats on a FO already! Thanks also for the info on how to add a page tab. I am planning to add one I just haven't had time yet :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects and you're already finishing some!
ReplyDeleteI love the two looks! It's dressy and casual all at once. Love it!
