I had two big skeins of strange yarn that didn't match anything else I h= ad and nothing really in mind.
The green yarn is a posh, hand spun green that has tints of blue and gre= en and little light blue glass beads spun into it on a brown yarn. The brow= n is full of golden and bronze metalic threads...so yes, the whole thing is= "subtle."
Not realizing how big everything would be, I started with the green on a= size 14, 29 inch circular needles. I knit
Then I realised that the bulk of the yarn was making this tight, so I sw= itched to a yarn over/drop for everyother stitch:
Then I ended up with this giant green circular loop that i could wrap ar= ound my neck twice. So I put it aside until I could figure out what to do w= ith it. I then started on the brown yarn. I thought if I lessened the measu= rements and did the whole thing as yo and drops, I would have enough to may= be make a cowl. With the same size 14 needles:
It ended up too short to be a cowl. So I twisted the green loop as if I = were going to put it on my head, then I took some left over brown and start= ed to stitch the brown loop to it. I kept divided by halves. So I stitched = the front and the back. Then I found the middle between those and attached = the sides. Then I found the centers of those areas and attached the quarter= s. I ended up with 8 stitches holding the two loops together.
You see the end result being modelled by Brunhelga. She thinks it makes = quite a statement.
