Stash Buster Report
The yarn featured in the December Pillow Talk provided two cowls (the pattern calls them gaiters), and I have enough left over for a shorter version. It is on the needles and should be finished today unless something comes up and I can't knit. I haven't decided if I want to block the cowls or not. I like the "curl" at the top and bottom, but the recipients may prefer to have a straight edge. I will have to ponder that for a while. Any suggestions?The cowl pattern is in Creative Knitting, November 2008. The stitch is called chevron lace and is an easy lace pattern.
Pretty. I love the color! I'd probably go ahead and block it lightly. I think it will enhance the lace stitches. You can always let it dry with the edges curled, if you want to keep that feature.
ReplyDeleteI'd block it since it is a gift. I think gaiter is the old fashioned word for cowl isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have given up on the lace knitting thing for now. I am just not focused enough for it these days it seems.
Oh very pretty! Nice work.
