wip: hot pink & purple cowl

This cooler weather has me on a knitting kick lately. I finished a pair of fingerless mitts with the wool I bought  this past weekend but I still need to take a good photo of them. I started on a cowl last night using some scrap yarn I had. The pink is Caron Simply Soft and the pink/purple yarn was an unlabeled yarn I found at a thrift store a while back. I'm using the Some Sort of Scarf pattern by Caitlin ffrench but I don't think I am doing it quite right. It doesn't look like the picture but oh well. I like the texture it is making anyway.

  3. The cowl looks beautiful!
    I loves the colours a lot!

    (The one in the picture for the pattern used a bigger needle size than the yarn called for... it gave it more drape.... But I like yours more!)

    I'm going to knit another to look more like yours! <3

    1. aww thank you for the encouragement! I was a little nervous when I saw that you had commented because I was sure you were thinking "oh wow... she really messed that one up!" but your comment has encouraged me to keep going. I'm still working on my knitting skills and this cowl is making me feel more confident as I work on it. It has tons of mistakes but hey it's a learning experience :)
