I started another baby hat, since the last cabled one looks a bit small for lil' Solly. So I pulled out this yarn from my stash and started another.
Being the inspired person I am, I again resized this pattern up a bit to accomodate a larger baby-head. Now that I started the cable portion I realized I made a grave error in the re-sizing: the cable pattern is done over a 16 stitch repeat, NOT an 8-stitch repeat!-DOH!
So I think I have decided that a design change would be appropriate at this time. Perhaps a larger cable utilizing the extra two 'plain' panels that are now side by side?
And look-I finished the Seaweed Cowl for my friend! I crocheted a loop and will add a button, since I had added a couple of repeats to make this cowl wider and want to give her the option to pull it in a bit at the top.
I LOVE way this colorway knit up! I first found it a bit garish, but found that it really is quite a fun colorway! (And yes, your eyes do not deceive you--my gauge changed 1/2 way through and it started striping!)

Such a pretty cowl!! I made need to whip out a hat or cowl this weekend...I'm still plugging away on socks (just too!! many on the needles!).
...really pretty cowl! Makes me want to knit one...
as i sit here with a scarf wrapped aroung me inside my house, too cheap to turn up the heat, i think i need one of those cowls too!!! awesome!
I wonder how many knitters are kicking themselves that they passed on that Malabrigo at Imagiknit. It knit up so well.
I like that colorway, a good one for Fall, especially that green in the striped section that is popping out. Great idea on adding a button hole!
Did I say that I love that green yarn for the baby hat?
Beautiful cowl! I almost feel left out since I haven't knit on yet!
