And then I started thinking about what to make with it. I looked around on Ravelry and in my pattern books, but couldn’t find anything that spoke to me. So I decided to design something myself. It couldn’t be a big project, or I’d have to buy more yarn to go with it. (I only had 100 grams of each colour combination.)
I soon decided that a cowl would be perfect. It would be a lovely thing to make and to wear, and I could use up as much of the mini-skeins as possible.
I made swatches in all kinds of stitch patterns. I daydreamed, sketched and coloured. I knit more swatches, to try out different needle sizes. I cut some knots (figuratively speaking) and knit a prototype. Then I finally knit the actual cowls. Here you can see them side by side (click on images to enlarge).
O wat geweldig en zelf het patroon ontworpen en op ravelry. Dat heb je goed geheim gehouden hoor!
Nog een project om op mijn verlanglijstje te zetten ?
Leuk, hè? Het kostte me soms wel moeite om mijn mond niet voorbij te praten.
Mooi!
De kol ziet er fijn uit om te breien!
Ik neem n kijkje bij Ravelry. ?
Dank je! Ik heb zelf veel plezier beleefd aan het breien.
Well Done. A lovely project!
Thank you so much! It was a really enjoyable project to knit.
