cowl finished !

I love colours !

That's why this yarn called out to me

(though it's polyester)

On top of that it's shiny

and easy to knit.

 A friend on Ravelry (who I met in a yarn shop !)

made a lovely cowl / shawl of it,

and as soon as I bought my skein, I remembered that.

I asked her how many stitches she had

and started right away

Mitered knitting is easy

because you never have more stitches on your needle

than at the start of every new block.

And NO sewing blocks together :

every new block starts at the side (or two sides)

of an old one !

(if you're interested, you can find the pattern here)

It's amazing : the colours of the second row

just fit so nicely next to each other ...

If I had meant it to be like that up front,

I would probably NOT have succeeded doing so !

The yarn did it all by itself !

Very happy with it !

Because there is a special birthday tomorrow

I made a little card for a friend

Stitching on "lutradur" with a thick thread on the bobbin,

fabric and paper underneath ...

Done
