The Last Biscuit

Right before the big storm I found my Biscuit cowl. It was still in its project bag. I thought I had blocked it. Apparently I had not.



 I remembered being mystified about blocking round things.


 It wasn't that hard. I just folded it in half and made sure I pulled out both points when I pinned it.


I have to say the colors are amazing. There's a lot going on with those smokey greens.



It's Slinky Cat in the Skyfall colorway by Wandering Cat Yarns and it's really, really soft! I just wish my bobbles looked better. It was my first try at them and some of them are pretty darn wonky.


I did love this pattern. It was simple and quick and it sure is pretty. I'm just not sure how to wear it yet. It's more for show than for warmth so I just may have to pack it away until early spring.

    It looks beautiful scrunched up on the dress form's neck. I think that is how I would wear it. You might be surprised how warm it keeps you.

    Looks like it is soft as a cloud.

    Great job! No, it will be very warm around your neck like you display it on the dress form. All bobbles look wonky! You did fine!

    It turned out absolutely beautiful. And like Dee says - silk (especially when paired with merino) is surprisingly warm!

    That is such a pretty pattern. I think I might already have it queued. And you did a great job with the blocking.

    Oh ho! I was just saying how fantastic Wandering Cat yarn is, and there you go. This cowl is absolutely gorgeous. Your excellent blocking turns this piece even lovelier.

    ps: I love when you do the whole project progression photos. I mean, I don't need them all the time, but I definitely appreciate them!

    Wow that is so beautiful. You say it was quick ? Looks like it must have taken forever, it's do details. I love how the points sit out, and folding in half to block it is genius!
