Copycat Cowl Part 2


 

 


Well, here's the cowl blocked and on me (please excuse the qualities of the "selfies" I'm new to taking them and obviously need some more practice.)   What do you think?  I love how the colors turned out, the lace and the edging.  My only knitting mod was to repeat the last two rows with the exception of increasing on the last row if that makes any sense.  This allowed me to include the final color change of the lighter spring green along the edge.  If I had one wish about this cowl it would be that I read the pattern's yarn choice before I started and used yarn with some silk content to achieve more drape.  But, alas I did not.  Now I wonder it if is a bit too "baby bib" like as I wear it today.  Any thoughts?

    Hmmm, perhaps it is a bit bib-like, so... what if you scrunch it up so it's more scarf-like and blousy kinda ? I live the colors and the pattern.

    Oops, should be: I love the colors and the pattern. That color scheme is just gorgeous.
