Cowl Love

I finished my very first cowl yesterday. It's black & oh so soft. When I started the project (my very first time using circular needles) I thought maybe I would end up with a hat, but seeing as I made the very common knitting in the round mistake of twisting stitches (though I was so careful not to) I knit up a very warm & cozy möbius strip instead. Thankfully it would have been much to large to be a hat anyhow.

The boy & the cowl.

I'm pretty pleased with it & plan on making many more -- trying out different sizes & thicknesses. The funny thing is... I'm not sure how I managed to twist the stitches to begin with so it might be interesting trying to twist them on purpose for my next creation.

What have you been creating lately?

Desiree said...: I think I saw sierpinski carpet cookies once ^_^

Did you post that...?; November 9, 2008 at 1:43 PM
Tonyv911 said...: I <3 accidental genius, it makes life so much more interesting. I have been working mainly on slip and drop stitch scarves, and other experiments to get some original stuff together for my Etsy. I am also starting to plan out a filet crochet piano scarf using pachelbels cannon in d as the pattern... that should be huge and fun, may end up as a table cloth, who knows.; November 9, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Melanie said...: ^^I sure did.

Tony, I need to see this scarf.; November 9, 2008 at 4:53 PM
emilyclare said...: Love this. What have I been making lately? Well i started my very first quilt (collecting fabric, now cutting lots and lots of triangles and birds!) I've also got unfinished crocheted bodice with which to make a spring dress (bodice crochet/skirt cotton fabric) and so far I've got two hilarious triangles for the chest-area.. Oh dear, and I'm attempting to make doodly tree decorations but there's just not enough time at the moment.; November 9, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Desiree said...: Oh wow -- you've been busy! I hope you'll post photos of your creations!; November 10, 2008 at 8:12 AM

I have been making a bunch of cards. (I keep giving them away as quickly as I can make them.)

I made two unique notebook things. They are very casual/informal (as opposed to super-formal me). ;-)

I have been having so much fun making different things. Who knew crafting could be so much fun?
