FO: Rainbow Warrior Cowl
- Ravelry Project Page: Rainbow Warrior Cowl
- Pattern: Rainbow Warrior Cowl by Casapinka
- Yarn:
- Needles: US 6 (4 mm) Straights
- Start to Finish: November 25, 2016 - February 6, 2017
- Notes: I knit the flat version and seamed it to finish.
I dyed the "colorful" yarn back in November. I kept one hank for myself, and must have taken the other to the shop. For the striped cowl, I combined it with some indigo yarn that I'd dyed at some earlier date and I love how it turned out! In the knitting up, the other colors played very well with and toned down even the brightest bright yellow, and the solid indigo helped to subdue it all even further. Not that I don't like brights, but YIKES!
Also, new specs.
Have a great weekend!
Such a pretty picture of you!

LOVE your cowl! Both yarns are great and you've combined them in a spectacular way. I think it looks like a lovely yarn interpretation of Starry Night!

Love the new specs, which look comfortable and fashionable. (I'm in need of a lightweight pair, therefore comfort is something I'm look at.) The cowl also looks both comfortable and fashionable! Nice job of pairing bright and bold with something that shows it off perfectly.
