Well add moving into the mix and it makes it a wee bit more difficult. I managed, but it wasn't the brightest move on my part ;) I finished by the deadline though so that's good :)
Here it is in fiber form
Spun up
Funky Carolina Superwash Merino
Ground Flowers Colorway
4 oz.

13/15 wpi
Sport/dk/worsted weight
Then knit up into the Gray Gardens Cowl.
US 8 circular
No mods :)
Used 133 yds of my handspun
Here is the I-cord bind off. I'll use that one again!
I-cord cast on. That was a bit fiddly, but easy to do, I'm sure I'll use it again.
I had 84 yds of yarn leftover which I sent to her :)

This is lovely, from start to finish! I love handspun!
I see bats(?) like that and think they look so dark. But look how bright it turned out. Amazing! Beautiful cowl pattern - nice job Z :0)
Zonda, how absolutely beautiful! You must be so proud to have worked that from fiber to finish.
Gorgeous! I love the pattern too :-)
So pretty! here's a question for you Spinning Pro's: Can you tell/approximate what the end result yarn will look like by looking at the batts??
I am continuously amazed at the difference in the two, and wonder if 'you guys' can 'see' it better??
I may be developing an addiction to hand spun that rivals my addiction to hand dyed . Not good!
Oh that came out so nice!!!! You did a great job! I'll have to look up that i-cord cast off. I saw it once on a Knitty Gritty to finishoff the neck of a sweater and it just gives it a nice finished look.
I love my cowl, Zonda, thank you very much!
