Sexy cowl

Dearest Manos Del Uruguay,


As soon as I laid eyes on you, you were beautiful! Your touch, your strength, made my heart glow whenever I thought of you. I had to have you! We worked perfectly first time. Every moment with you was luxury, every second a pleasure. I will always wear you with pride!
(Playing with camera effects again!)
(Ooooo what a poser.)
(On my new keyboard, feel the love!)

This pattern was Darkside Cowl and the whole experience was amazing. I knitted it in about one day and a bit (and got paid for it too as I was Stewarding for auditions at College!). I love this yarn so much! I seem to have it cracked where as other yarn I still struggle with (it's hard to explain but some just knit themselves!) The pattern was simple too, especially after you memorized the pattern. he cowl is so cosy and warm and fits me perfectly! I only cast on 80 and did it on 4mm needles but I have a small head so I'd recommend 4mm for everyone else. I used the remainder to make a broach which I put on a black hat to make it all match (as seen in last post)! 
(Oooo matchy!)
(Cheese!)

I did a hat for mummy too which I don't think I showed you!

(Can you see where I get it from?)

Can't seem to find something to do next now! I'm buying more than I am knitting.... whatever happened to that yarn diet I was on???

I'm jealous!! I haven't updated because I forgot my camera at home several weeks ago and I hate to blog without pictures :(
