I'm thrilled to show off my Tanner Cowl from New American Knits by Amy Christoffers. (Please excuse the loose ends in my photos - I was so excited to share it that I haven't trimmed them yet!) I really can't say enough about how much I love this finished cowl, but I'll try :)
1. I love the color - Sugar Plum in Knit Picks Swish DK. All the details are here in my first post, but I think the color is perfect with this design and I can see myself wearing this cowl in the Fall right through to Spring. So pretty.
2. This design is so beautiful. The lace pattern is very interesting - geometric and intricate without being too fussy. I did end up shortening the width of my cowl by stopping with Row 48 on the chart. This seems to be a good place to stop if you want a cowl that isn't quite so wide. The resulting pattern isn't symmetrical, but it is balanced and you capture enough of the design to be interesting. My finished cowl after blocking is about 7 1/2 " wide by 44" around. This will be perfect to wear both as a neckwarmer and as an accessory to wear throughout the day.
That pretty much sums it up. Again, LOVE IT! Can't wait until the temps drop down and I can start wearing it :)
