*grins*

I guess being on vacation and feeling relaxed could do that to a person (despite the fact that I’ve been contacted EVERY day I’ve been home 🙄 ) But I’m not going to talk about that … I’m going to talk about the fact that the break has given me time to do two things I’ve been slacking on — reading and crocheting!

But enough of the rambling, on to the finished object — F.O. to you non-yarnites 😛

I love it!! The only thing I’d do differently the next time around is add 40 – 50 more chains if I use bulky yarn and 70 if I use worsted weight. I like my cowls a little more drapey rather than having a tighter fit. Other than those changes this little puppy is getting a big ole WIN!!!! It’s definitely better than the first one I made — both with the stitching and the yarn choice. I got a chance to jump back into the crochet saddle, practice my half double crochet and get a feeling of accomplishment.
