Shawlish Cowl

A while ago I saw a cowl/shawl combo that appealed to me. It's Zuzu's Petals by Carina Spencer. It's the idea and shape of a lace shawl but actually knit in the round as a cowl, thus staying in place without any problems. It seemed like a quick little project and a good way to use up some yarn. It was!

I would give this project about an 85% happiness rating. I really do like the project, but my yarn is a bit too busy for lace. I prefer my lace knitting to be done with a yarn that is has minimal color variation. However, I think it looks quite nice with this pink t-shirt.

I have been participating in two KALs, one spontaneous RAL (read-along), and just enjoying spring. I'll post the KAL projects next time.
