I actually finished this back in December, but for whatever reason, I never got around to photographing it.
The pattern is #12 Cabled Cowl from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2009. I added a few extra stitches around (eight, I think), just to make sure that it would fit down over my shoulders if I took a notion to do that. Most people would probably not find that necessary.
The yarn is Elsbeth Lavold "Angora", which I think is discontinued. It's wonderfully fluffy and glowing, but it is soooo sheddy. Everyone will think I have several white cats at home what with the fine white fibers all over everything. That's angora, I guess!
This project was fast and fun--the way I like 'em--and turned out pretty much the way I envisioned it. No wait, it's exactly how Theresa envisioned it--I just borrowed her vision. It's an homage, really, because her's was pretty much perfection.
That is gorgeous!
