Changing the yarn made all the difference. I've now finished the cowl. :) Once I got going, the pattern was fairly straightforward and would more or less let me know when I was screwing it up. I still did in a few patches, but was able to fudge it so that the overall pattern worked out fine. If K can find the fudged stitches, then really she has way too much time on her hands.

It's not yet blocked and I need to sew on the buttons, but here's a picture.



The yarn is a sock yarn from Chameleon Colorworks. It's a wool/bamboo blend and the colorway is called Briar Rose. It worked up quite nicely, I thought.

Also, here's a picture of the lacy scarf I was working on just before T-Day. It's worked in two strands of Berroco's Comfort -- a purple/lilac mix and a green. I like how it turned out.



I need a surface for blocking, and I'm not sure the best way to block the longer scarf. It's 55-60" long, and I just don't have a surface that big. Any suggestions?
