Here is the second Honey Cowl, finished. The yarn is Valley Yarns Huntington (75% fine superwash merino, 25% nylon) so it’s not as luxurious as Great White Bale Lot 2, but it will be sturdy. The color is perfect for fall. And she likes it.
Remember my experiment with the CO number? I cast on an odd number of stitches to see if the beginning of the round would look less seamlike. What do you think?
In other news, are you in line for a CustomFit account with Amy Herzog? I am, and I’m stressing over swatches. Nothing seems quite good enough. I probably have a bit of time to keep swatching, though, since I’m 537 in the queue. I’ll report back on my swatching in a couple of days.

Beautiful! Love the color. This is my go to pattern for presents - I made 6 last year for Christmas. I just love how it shows off a great skein of yarn
ReplyDeleteI love seeing her face under the words "more honey!" It makes me giggle for some reason. That color is so her, and I really do think it goes great with the pattern. I agree -- the odd number of cast-on stitches does seem to seam a bit less obtrusively. The whole thing looks like three or four lacy layers of cowl are stacked on top of each other. Nice!
