FO: Poinsettia
I got inspired to finish some things up (and start new ones) over the holiday, so I’m hoping to have quite a few new finished objects to share! I even entertained the idea of limiting the number of projects I cast on for but let’s not get crazy.
I thought I’d experiment with something other than MySpace-esque photos taken by holding the camera at arm’s lenght or posing in a mirror, so I’m using 12seconds to record video of my object. Unfortunately, WordPress isn’t allowing me to embed the video, but if you’re interested you can check it out here.

I have to say–I LOVE this cowl! I was a little skeptical when all the cowls started showing up, but I wore Poinsettia this morning, and it was so comfortable. Much less fiddly than scarf, but still warm and comfy. I also liked that it didn’t use too much yarn, so I got to splurge on something really nice. I definitely see more cowls in my future.
