My One-a-Day Granny Cowl is finished!
(Well, if you don't look at the 7 squares x 6 rounds + 1 black round's worth of ends that is still flapping happily about...)
We left yesterday afternoon on an impromptu hunt with the boys, I had just about time to grab my hookie things. While the eldest and Dad were freezing their butts off in the hide since 07h00, youngest and myself placed ourselves as close to the fire as we could, back at camp:
I just had one row of singles to do, all around. My fingers were freezing!
In the end I hung the scarve around my neck while doing the last bit!
Here it's all done and doing double duty with my beanie.
Worked a treat :-)
(You'll note that I'm discreetly quiet about The Great Romany Blanket...)
If you would like to participate in One-a-Day, please link your project in the Tuesday's Tallies at Carole's blog, Gingerbread Girl.
You are looking great with your new cowl and your beanie! Love the colours you have used!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! Barbina
Lovely cowl and we definitely need it with this freezing weather we are having at the moment.
ReplyDeletelovely cowl looks lush and warm too
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cowl. We could use one here in Melbourne too as its very cold here too. I did check out your african flower hexagons. Oh my, the african flower blanket is going to be beautiful. Seeing them all laid out, the green border was a good choice as they stand out nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely and interesting blog! I love your crafts! :)

Your cowl is so pretty! It looks really cold where you live.

ReplyDeleteThe thought of you sitting by a fire, while the men hunt, in Africa... it sounds so exciting!
