Pattern: Honey Cowl by Madelinetosh
Yarn: Art by Colinette in Mango Lassi
Project page: Mango Lassi
A victory for the SSKUP! I have successfully taken one poor, neglected skein and knitted it up into rather a lovely FO. The yarn is very variegated with shades of pink, green, yellow and grey so I was looking for something with slipped stitches to really show them off. I discounted the honey cowl at first because I prefer cowls that you can wrap around twice and I didn't have enough yardage for the large version, but then I spotted Acernaea's version while looking for projects made out of the same yarn; she had mods for an inbetween size so I used those and voila; a cowl that loops twice around the neck!
This was very easy and was mostly knitted while I re-watched season 7 of the West Wing. I barely needed to look at my needles so I could spend more time watching Candidate Santos instead, a real shame that...
I shall leave you with a close up of pretty pretty stitches:
