Just a few more cowls

Braided Cowls`

I’ve been going absolutely bananas making these! So pretty and easy, if a little time consuming.

I’m just out of  buttons! I ordered some from Walmart but they were way too big, like 2.5 inches.  Then I ordered some cute butterfly ones but they were way too small.  Apparently third parties can sell on Walmart with crappy photos and non-existent measurements!

I’ve made several more of these since but I’m stalled at completion thanks to not having buttons! argh.

Trying out Knitting

Well, my cast on is messy and I got so frustrated with the knit stitch I took a break.  But I’ll get it eventually!

Keyhole fringed ponchos

I actually made three of these so far but I haven’t taken a photo of the rainbow one yet.  I really liked this pattern, and purchased it mostly because of the keyhole neckline to use in another projects.

This was the lilac one almost finished but I’m keeping it so I didn’t do final photos.  I wore this the other day in fact!

So cute!

Then I started working on a shirt version!  It came out a little small but that was my fault, I used a much smaller hook and slightly smaller yarn than the Caron One Pound.  It was from a bag of ‘scraps’ my sister got me last year so I was using what I had.  I believe it was off-white Caron Simply Soft but it had no labels.  I made calculations to keep the keyhole centered with the lesser initial chain count and decided on a shell border instead of fringe.  I do love fringe though.

Just not sure what to do about the sleeves or leave it sleeveless.  May just do another row of DC and then a shell border around each arm.  We’ll see how that looks.

Winged Unicorn!

I was using scrap yarn for this but I liked it SO much I am going to make another, and possibly make a larger one!
