Frost Flower Lace Cowl

Hello Friends,

TaDa!
Picot edge turns out to be a leaf

and flowers

More leaves and flowers

A cowl to wear around my neck when the cold winds nip.

This pattern is by Esther Budd.  I found it on Ravelry but she also has the pattern here on her blog. Of course, she made this in 1 day!! Me, it took a couple of weeks!
I used superwash merino wool.  It was fun and not too difficult to knit.
Is there anything I don't like about it? Well Esther said it was loose but maybe a little too loose.  The top wants to flop over but hey, that's the nature of cowls so why am I surprised.
Overall, I am very pleased at how it turned out.

Now on to some sewing! (and a new project on needles too, of course!)

Talk at you later,  Rumi
