While I was on my blogging sabbatical, I finished my green cowl...
I love it *smiles* I think this is the first time I have knit the same pattern more than once, but it's such an easy and effective project that having the same thing in a different colour felt like a good idea.
As with the other version of this I made, I almost prefer it inside out, I love the texture of the 4x1 rib from the wrong side. It could probably do with a bit of blocking to help it lie better though!
And, because I think it is cute - as a hood:
*laughs*
I know I have bragged about the yarn plenty of times before, but here it is one last time ;)
These gorgeous colours come courtesy of yarn dyed by cunning boyfriend. He was so impressed with my first Kool Aid dyed yarn that he wanted to have a go himself, and this is the result. I love the range of colours and the way it looks, as I may have mentioned (a fair few times, I can't help it, I love that he made something that I could make something beautiful with *sappy smile*)
Ok, enough of that ;)
The yarn was named Seaweed of Endor, so this is now my Endor cowl.
As it is Friday, I am linking up with the lovely ladies at Tami's, Natural Suburbia and Wisdom Begins in Wonder . Have a wonderful weekend :)
That cowl is great and I love that your boyfriend dyed the yarn for it. I really like the cowls that you can wear as a snood. perfect for those super cold days soon to come.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really gorgeous cowl, and I love it that you can use both sides. I think you've got a good thing going there getting your BF to dye the yarn for you, I recon you should *encourage* him to do more ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great cowl! I think I might have to make one for myself! And I love love love that green! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, cunning boyfriend is a genius and that cowl is so pretty! I wouldn't even want to take it off.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Great color on you :) Have a super weekend, my friend :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! I like the inside-out version, as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely-and so nice to have a boyfriend interested in your passion-and wanting to help too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, gorgeous yarn! I love how it turned out, and the versatility.
ReplyDeleteThat green is stunning!! What an adorable cowl :)

Oh I love that cowl! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I totally like the look of the reverse side of the 4x1 rib! The color is great (and I'm still so impressed that you got your bf to dye yarn!)
ReplyDeleteOoo. I think I like it inside-out too! Having a reversible cowl kinda makes this a 2-4-1 project!
ReplyDeleteYour cowl is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great! I love Kool-Aid dyed yarn. Nice cowl, it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to dye some wool and knit a cowl. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, cunning boyfriend did a cracking job on the colour and you did a superb job on the knitting- teamwork rocks :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always so much fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about my wingspan... there may be several weeks of little-to-no progress. ;-)
It's awesome that he dyed the yarn!!! It looks great and the cowl is prefect.
