Well, that’s not entirely true. This time around it IS too late! It is definitely too late to wear one of my latest FOs. I just finished a cowl (yes, another one — I have decided that it is impossible to have too many cowls). It has a totally winter vibe and even though today is a bit dreary, all the snow has left our yard so spring is here. 🙂
It is a free pattern called Kinetic by Shibui Knits, and is meant to be knit in gradient colors. I used Freia Ombré Sport in the colorway Oro Azteca. You buy two “sister” skeins and they flow one to the other. It is pricey: $25 a skein!!
I am not sure how I will wear it but I have until next winter to decide!!
Friday several of us did our own short version of the Shop Hop. A friend of mine – Bonnie – mentioned that StevenBe had a zombie knitting bag at the shop. Well, someone had to be dumb enough to buy it!! 🙂
Oooh, I LOVE that green colour! I like the texture on the cowl as well.
That zombie-bag would have ended up in my shopping basket as well – that fabric, would love to sew something for my daughter with that print on it!
Sometimes we (or at least I) need some counterweight against all the sweet stuff (which of course is also very tempting to make).

Very pretty. And, I’m hoping you wore it today. Did the clock go back to early March?

I love the way the colors played out on your cowl! Most excellent. (And that zombie bag? Oh-so-awesome!)

Just in case someone tells you go ahead and wear it in the spring and summer anyway . . . it just screams winter. Put it away. It is lovely, especially how the colors flow.
