Peace Cowl - revisited
 |
| Completed Project Peace Cowl December 2016 |
 |
| i-cord bind off |
I used a double-point needle to do the bind off because I didn't have to fight the weight of the cowl and the remaining stitches on the circular needle.

| i-cord edge on the other side, too |
Pattern: Project Peace Cowl (Ravelry link) by Christina Campbell
Needles: size 6 US
Yarn:
Regia 6ply Tweed - Bordeaux (6 grams of the 150 gram skein remain)
Regia 4ply Silk - Marine Blue (the i-cord only used about 14 grams)
Size: my finished cowl measures 7 inches high and 54 inches in circumference
Oh I really like this - so pretty (love your color choice). This is a pattern I intend (hopefully I will) knit in the new year. I've never done an I-cord bind off (or cast on), so am curious about that. Always fun to learn new techniques. What's next for you (pretty yarn showing in your first picture above...)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your color combination and you've given me motivation for the I-cord bind off and picking up stitches for I-cord on the cast on edge. I'm way behind because I got some requests for knitted Christmas gifts, but hope to be back to Peaceful knitting in the next day.
ReplyDeleteNever seen the I-cord binding before but I sure do like it.
ReplyDeleteThe I-Cord binding is just perfect. It gives the edge a nice finished look and those two colors together are classic.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the beautiful finish! You've had a VERY productive 2016.
How pretty! I love the colors, and the I-cord binding is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's SO PRETTY! When I posted yesterday, I forgot to talk about my Peace Cowl. LIke you, I can't stop after one repeat a day and since I started on day 9 or 10 I had a lot of catching up to do. I had to set it aside to work on the Batman hats but hope to get back to it this evening. We are doing a similar color and I hadn't thought of doing a darker color bind-off. How pretty!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

That I-cord binding looks so nice!!... Great idea, I know I've made boot cuffs and the two edges often don't look the same...this would correct that I'm thinking?
ReplyDeleteHow pretty Nancy. I love it modeled on the swift. Great idea. I love how the icord looks. SO finished. Good job
ReplyDeleteThat cord binding looks great. I assume you could have done it with a matching thread also. Does it add extra "oomph" to the edge? Great job getting it done so fast. I'm having great success with the Hitchhiker scarf. I need to weigh my yarn to get an idea of how much more I can add to the scarf. Thanks for the suggestion!
