Knitting Project Blue Lace Cowl

1 Comment

Life has been so busy lately it seems.  I look back at the past month and realize I have not really accomplished much in the crochet and knitting department.  One of the reasons may be because I have a lot of projects going – two crochet and three knitting – and I work on one for a day or two and then on another one.  I think I am going to have to start focusing on finishing one thing before starting another.  The problem with that plan is I get tired of working with the same yarn so I switch – or I think of some great new idea or find a new yarn that I want to use.  The dilemmas of crochet and knitting, I guess.

I did recently finish this pretty blue lace crochet cowl.  I love how it turned out!

Blue Lace Knit Cowl

I designed this knitting project myself and I am really pleased with the finished product.   I showed it to my knitting friend today, who I meet with twice a month to knit and have coffee, and she really liked how it turned out.  She had seen me knitting it a week ago when it was still on my needles.

The cowl is versatile and can be worn long – as show above – or doubled for warmth as in the top photo.  The yarn I used to knit it with was something I had bought over a year ago and had in my stash – Red Heart Boutique Midnight.  The yarn color is called moonlight and has shades of dark blue and some silver sparkles in it.  It was easy to knit with and has a nice drape.

The above photo gives you a close up of the lace stitch and you can kind of see the sparkles in the yarn.  I designed this cowl to be knit in the round so there is no seaming.  I will eventually be offering the pattern available in my etsy shop and on craftsy in the future.

Next week I plan to share a crochet project and pattern on my blog and as a guest post on Skip To My Lou blog.   I hope you are having a great week and getting more projects accomplished than I have lately.

Take care,
