burberry inspired cowl
as *soon* as i stumbled across this (http://juliannesmith.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/free-knitting-pattern-burberry-inspired-cowl-neck-scarf/) pattern on ravelry, i *knew* i had to knit it! i love the whole look of the slightly scattered cables, and it’s pretty mindless to knit - i blasted through it while watching two pvr’ed episodes of iron chef america - yes!
i used lion brand vanna's choice yarn in rust (the same yarn i used on my amelia hat), and it took *just* under a skein to do three repeats. it fits very nice and snug, which is exactly what i wanted, and it seems as though i knit it at just the right time because it was perfect for pulling up around my face while braving the *ultra* cold weather in toronto this weekend!
i decided not to do the provisional cast on (cuz i hate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it with a seething passion, as per my last post), and instead just did a quick seam job up the back, which i’m totally fine with. :)# posted by übercherry : 9:20 PM
