Yarn Along


Just yesterday, the purplish Honey Cowl came off of my circular needles, 
YaY!
 And at the present moment,

all of my needles are empty and sitting in the pretty jar I store them in.
I'm not sure what I would like to start next.

I really enjoyed working on this cowl.
Knitted with Madeline Tosh, I really liked the variations of color in the yarn.
Every so often, I would get a pop of red...I never knew when it was going to happen,
and it always made me smile.

You can see it pretty clearly in this image.
It didn't happen often but when it did, it was always a nice surprise!!

We have season passes for Longwood Gardens and we visited last week. 
I have been reading through the pretty souvenir book I purchased, the pictures are stunning.

I am joining Ginny at Small Things 
for
Yarn Along

Your presentation is so pretty! The cowl turned out beautifully--I like those pops of color too. So what will be next? :-)

The colors of your cowl are wonderful with that stitch patter ! I really want to knit that one, it's going to go higher in my ravelry queue now!

Ooh, so pretty! I knit a Honey Cowl a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it, too, but somehow never wear it. Must remedy that!

Donna said...

Your Honey Cowl is gorgeous. I love those colors.

Haddock said...

That is a good idea of keeping the needles in the jar.

What a lovely cowl. I really like the colors you used. Your book looks very nice too. You know you could do a bird book like that. Your pictures are better than most books I see.

That is simply beautiful, Debbie. Love all the colors! :)

And, I'm glad you posted the jar again as I'd forgotten about that, and now I want to paint!

The cowl is pretty and I like the color. I used to keep my crochet hooks in a mason jar, and now have several in a plastic cup on my desk. I have given myself too many excuses to not start crocheting again..I used to love it. This durn computer is a big time suck that leaves not much to show for itself.
