Pattern: Hoarfrost
Yarn: Woolenrabbit Opulence~Dream
Needles: US 3 Addi's
Raveled: Here
I think this neck-warmer pattern from Knitspot is my favorite so far. I love the edging and the way it compliments the main pattern. It's a fun, easy and very fast knit! Of course each time I think Anne can't top the last one.........she does. Good thing I love wearing these, because they are addictive.
You can see the pretty lace detailing in this picture. You can also see that I have it on backwards...aggh. My grafting could have been a bit neater, which is why you can see it should be facing the back....grin.
It's no secret I hate having my picture taken, but do you think I could bribe one of my 2 girls here today to put on a nice shirt and stand in front of the camera? Of course not! Where are my older grrls when I need them....acck! :)
Love that last pic! lol

It's beautiful and it looks wonderful on you! I don't see what you're talking about with your grafting - looks good to me.

Kim- Love the color on you.
I agree, what's the point in having children if you can't use them for models?

Oh I love it! Such a beautiful yarn also. I hope one day I'm good enough to create something like that. I'm still a beginner on this whole knitting thing....

Great pictures, great project. Love the purple!
I think all I've knit in the last couple of months has been cowls and gloves. And enjoyed every minute!
And I cringe when I have my picture taken. Really really cringe...

You know, I didn't think I would like the edging on this, but I do. It's really pretty. You look lovely in it! The yarn is amazing and beautiful!

That's beautiful, and the last picture is YOU. I love it!!

It's funny how we get this concept of what we look like and sometimes cringe when the camera comes out. My opinion is that both you and the cowl look wonderful! love the hair. love the glasses. love the beautiful face.

I envy your knitting ability...I have NONE! Oh and I agree with you on the having my photo taken thing. I can duck and dive from a camera like a snipper dodging a bullet!
