Over and Over Infinity Loop Complete


I finished this cowl over the weekend, the pattern is a striking stitch design and fun to knit.  I loved that the pattern was super easy to memorize and you could multitask while whizzing away on the the stitches.


Pink is not my go to color but this pink is just perfect.  I'm thinking that this cowl will be a present for someone special, so I've folded it up and placed the cowl in my gifting pile.  However, I'm tempted to keep the cowl for myself.

    The cowl is lovely. Well done. I support you on whether you gift it or keep it. I'll admit, I think that shade of pink really suits you.

    I am always torn between keeping and gifting...So tricky! How many knitted accessories does one woman need, plus always fun to give a friend a special gift... It came out lovely!

      I am subscribed to their newsletter and they gave a coupon code for the pattern (free). They send a weekly email and it's a lovely email to read.

    That's great. I really should make easier presents for people rather than time consuming knits that I"m not sure are really appreciated.

    It really suits you Karen...I think that you should keep it for yourself. You deserve it.

    Such a stylish knit , I dont know why you would think that Pink is not your colour. I imagine you could get away with wearing almost any colour, just your preference may lie elsewhere. A lovely piece at any rate

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
