I know you all are SHOCKED by that statement. :p. Granted, I can't even say that with a straight face.
My second project was a Moebius Cowl. I WAS trying to follow the actual crochet directions, but I seem to have somehow twisted it twice when joining it up. It was the required length, but it seems tight for how it SHOULD drape. Since it's crocheted in the round (spiral, to be accurate), I'm not sure it can be fixed...but it does look kinda cool. Granted...when I say I was trying to follow directions, I used a similar yarn, but not the one SPECIFIED in the pattern.
Then to make things more interesting for myself, I used dark red and black (you work with two yarns on the hook) to make following the pattern even more complicated. :) And I decided to add some edging on the fly...I worked a simple lace edging stitch, black on one side and red on the other. I think it ups the Goth ante just a bit.
I'm going to block the the thing and then see what it looks like. And I'll take some pictures. I want to ask the pattern creator what SHE thinks.
