another cowl

Pattern: Chickadee cowl by Kristen Kapur
Yarn: Dazzle by Tahki
Color: 002 tan and purple varigated
Needle: US10

Modifications: I didn't stop at the suggested 4 inches... I kept going until the skein was almost gone... I could have gone one more round, but.... I didn't want to run out during binding off. so..........

Off to DD's chorus concert. She's playing piano in the beginning as well. At least I get to see this one.

yet another cowl

When I picked up the kids from afterschool care on Wednesday, DS1 informed me that his Spanish teacher was moving. Her last day would be Friday. This is the boy who does NOT deal well with change. So he wanted to give her something and could I make something for her. Hmmm gives me how much time???? and I have to work Thursday... OK...

Not only did she teach Spanish but she was also the ski club advisor. In light of all the cowls on and off my needles, I found it only appropros to make yet another..... gotta love thos quick stash busters:
