My Gap-tastic Cowl is all done! I finished it last week but have hesitated to post it because I haven't been able to get good pictures of it. I'd like to show it being worn but can't seem to get a picture of myself with it on because the camera is always in the way. I took photos of it laying on a table...
It looks pretty good but doesn't show how it looks when it's worn. So, I tried taking some with it on my dress form. The dress form is purple and I couldn't find anything to put on it that would cover the purple (including the neck part at the top) and look good with the cowl. This is the best I could find. I don't think the color looks very good with the cowl. But, here it is...my finished Gap-tastic...
I love it doubled up. It's so squishy, cozy and warm...
The color in the bottom two photos is more accurate.
I knitted this with size 13, circular needles. And, I used two skeins (248 total yards) of Loops and Threads Select Wool yarn in the color, Taupe. I really like this yarn but it's almost impossible to find. When my daughter initially bought some, she could only find it at one Michael's store. At that time, we could view it on their website in lots of beautiful colors. When she bought it for me, it was still only available at the one Michael's store. But, we could no longer find it on line. I can't even find it listed on Ravelry. I hope it hasn't been discontinued all together because I'd like to use it again.
This was such a fun project! I loved knitting with big needles and chunky yarn for a change. When I finished this and went back to working on my blanket project and size 8 needles, they seemed so small!
