Lots of book reading going on here lately. And some knitting, too. I finished this cowl at the end of September. A three-month delay in blogging any finished project seems normal these days…
Pattern: Um, mine. Right now I’m calling it Lacy Moebius Cowl. The name will probably change. It’s yet to be written down in any sort of publishable form, but that may be coming soon. I hope to get a lot of “housekeeping” stuff done while I’m off work after surgery.
Yarn: The luscious Cashmere Aran by Lotus, in Ecru and Dark Teal. 100% cashmere, 100% indulgence. 1 skein each, 200 yards total.
Needles: Size 9 Addi Turbos. I didn’t need to use circular needles because this is knitted flat across the short way, but I’ve gotten to where I hate using straights.
Satisfaction with end product: It’s soft and warm and beautiful, and will keep my neck and ears toasty warm on those occasions the Atlanta winter day dips below 45F. I’m having some second thoughts about the moebius twist that exposes the back side of the lace pattern. It’s interesting visually, and makes for a nice texture contrast, but I worry that it may be too much because of the yarn color contrast.
Here are a few more pictures. Let me know what you think. (Click the pic to make it bigger.)
