FAL Finish: Honey Cowl

I had two knitted items on my Q4 2015 FAL list, one was the lace wrap, and one was a honey cowl (a free pattern) for Jan, using cashmerino aran in (something like) drake.  Here's how it looked at the start of the quarter:

Doesn't look like much, does it?!

I managed to remember to take a few progress photos:

About halfway

Off the needles

I don't seem to have taken a photo of it once it was blocked, though. It didn't look much different, but the stitches evened out and had a nice texture to them.

It was a really simple (and quick) knit and I imagine it will be quite warm.

Cowl stats
Pattern: Honey cowl
Yarn: Cashmerino aran, 2x50g (had 9g left)
Other: cast on 106sts, omitted garter stitch rowsat the top and bottom, used a felted join.

I'd definitely knit one of these again and I'd be thrilled to knit with the cashmerino aran again, it's gorgeous!


Archie was miffed that I didn't include one of his alternative 'door stop' poses in my last post, so here it is:

I'd buy me if I were a door stop...
