Creative muses

January 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Sometimes the creative muse strikes me. Remember the teal wool that Kae dyed and I made some pretty yarn out of?

Lookie what I did with it.

Modeled by my very lovely daughter.  The cowl is the Cashmere Mobius Cowl by Cat Bordhi. The mitts…are designed by ME!! Yep, I couldn’t find a pattern I liked so I made up my own.

More photos.

Don’t I have a beautiful model? The Cowl actually fits me a bit better than it does her. It seems her head is long and skinny and mine is short and fat (hmm..just like the rest of me)

The fingerless mitts are a feather and fan pattern on top with ribbing on the palms to keep them snug. I’m working on writing up the pattern  if anyone is interested in giving it a shot.

Happy Sunday all!!

    Ooooh… which book is the cowl in? (Is it in a book or a regular pattern?) I love those mitts - I can’t wait to see the pattern! Beautiful, both of them!
