At $14 for a ball of wool (which is a lot more than I normally spend on wool as I am never going to win any awards for my knitting) I knew I wanted something really lovely done with the wool that was purchased last week. So the Debbie Bliss yarn has been shipped off to my mother (who is a much better knitter than I am) with a pattern for a gorgeous cowl created by Julianne Smith. Thanks Mama!
I am still slowly working on my seed stich cowl I started… oh last year sometime. I have set myself the task of having it done by the end of May, I’d like it done by the end of the week but I’m not home much this week so that may very well not be a possibility.
So this week my creative space (actually my creative space has been sat on my coffee table for a week now waiting for the second coat, which let me tell you was not the place to have done this project if you wish to complete it might I recommend a lovely space in someone else's backyard!) is a slight variation on the above which is something a friend sent me from this blog she reads. I have failed to take a photo of mine as yet but they are a bronze / brown colour and will be an ornamental piece on my bookcase. I'm definitely a shoe gal, I'm just not a glitter shoe kinda gal!
I think they may just look smashing! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get your cowl finished soon.
