The GAP-tastic Cowl

It's a super dull colour I know but at least it'll go with everything. As soon as I saw it I thought of my sister, so this was actually a bit of a practice run for a possible birthday present (her birthday is right after Christmas) but I'm now very pleased to have my own. It's just been through a normal 40 degree wash and has come out how it went in. If I decide to make this again I may go down a needle size, as my tension is a little on the loose side, to make the pattern a touch more compact. All in all I'm extremely pleased.
So get wrapped up warm and have a super weekend.
Peace Out X

Aaaah, that really looks cosy. I had my eye on a big owl for some time, so it is very inspirational to see and read this post. Did it take you long to make it?
That's lovely, I've got a ton of that yarn stashed from a project which never happened. I think you may have just saved me a fortune. Thank you.
Cowl looks fab, will try and get one done for a xmas pressie, it's ideal and looks better than anything you'd buy in a shop.
It's lovely! Looks great on you.

It looks very cosy and the colour is great, like you said it'll go with most things so it's a winner really :-)
I'm going to save the pattern for later!
ooooooh that looks so warm and comfortable, just what you need for this winter....I need to make one like that for my sister! She loves cowls :)
Oh my I love it. The colour is not boring, it is brilliant and I would love a) a cowl, b) one that looks exactly like that and c) in that colour.
I'm very jealous of your sister. And I'm made that I can't knit.
It's lovely!! I am in the process of knitting my 1st scarf haha... it is taking a while though!
You know, that cowl was one of the first things I ever queued on Ravelry and now I REALLY want to make it - gah! *Looks at WIPs piled about the room, and a large basket of yarn for next two projects*
How many hours do you think it took? :D
This cowl is gorgeous! I saw the pattern on Ravelry and was very tempted but now I know I definitely want to make it. I've just come across you blog and have to say, it looks gorgeous.. You really do make some lovely things and I love the way you list everything about what you make underneath the photo's of your finished project. I might have to start doing that myself aswell..!
