More FOs
Can you stand it? I think I've posted more FOs in the last week than I did all of last year. Well, maybe not... but very nearly.
This is the Robin's Egg Blue Hat (in Black) that I started on Monday night while watching House and catching up on 2-of-24 hours. I used Karabella Margrite Bulky from kpixie -- just a little bit over one ball. It's so, so soft!! And that's good. It's intended for my sister if she needs it.
And the Ridged Lace Cowl that I finished a while back but never posted! I was wearing my nightgown this morning when I took the photos and I did NOT want to take the cowl off! But I did... I washed my face, got dressed, put it right back on -- and I've been wearing it all day! It's been out on a few errands and will debut at book club tonight; I've never even washed or blocked it. I used two balls of Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran and knit 'til I ran out (so I think it's a bit longer than the pattern); I believe I acquired the yarn a while back during one of Norma's stash sales!
Great FOs. I especially love the color of the cowl - makes me think of a nice Merlot.

Yay! I love that picture, in case you haven't noticed. I hope the hat and cowl hasten spring. Geez! Winter is very much dead to me.
