WIP Wednesday- Purple cowl

It is not a very inspired name, but that is what it is, a cowl that is purple. It is my only active WIP, the others are ducky socks in long term hibernation, a hibernating jumper and the never ending sock yarn blanket.

This photo is intentionally bad in that I didn't want to show off the lace pattern before it makes it to FO Friday, I would have liked the colour to show up a little better, but my plans to photograph a load of projects outside in the sunshine have been foiled by a lack of sunshine.

The yarn for this is gorgeous, but I am a little bored with the project. I think I am favouring the cast on excitement and instant gratification of tiny projects at the minute. Saturday is cast on day for the F socks, so I am not starting anything new before then, maybe I will get this finished- 5 repeats done, going until I run out of yarn which I suspect will be about the pattern recommended 8 repeats.

  1. I like the color... looks like a wine color in the photo. I can't wait to see the FO on friday!

  3. I agree, the color is beautiful. I can't wait to see it as an FO with the detail of the color and lace pattern.

  4. Lace projects are always hard to photograph. Mine look like crumpled blobs until they're done and blocked. Good luck with the rest of yours, maybe you'll be encouraged by seeing that you're getting near the end?

  5. That is a pretty color. I bet the rest of it will go quickly despite your castonitis!

  6. It's always good to mix little projects in between working on the big ones. Lovely purple color. Can't wait to see what the lace looks like.

  7. The yarn does look gorgeous. I can't wait to see it blocked out.

  8. am sure it will be lovely. If it weren't for all the other little side distractions/projects, I might never finish those boring ones.
