Time Out Cowl CAL

I finished my Time Out Cowl for the CAL at Maybe Matilda's a couple weeks ago, it was a really fast cowl to make. I started out using just two colors but I decided to add a third, though it's not that easy to tell from the first picture. I used a size 8 hook and Loops & Threads Charisma yarn in charcoal, white and off white. This is probably the softest yarn I have ever used, I love it so much and I have started building up a stash of it so I can use it some more.

I did 35 V-stitch rows in the charcoal, 10 in the white and 15 in the off white. It ended up being 54 inches long, long enough for me to wrap it around twice which is exactly what I wanted.

When I joined the two ends together, I twisted it first to make it a mobius, I just love those! It looks exactly how I wanted it to look, I love the charcoal behind the whites when I wear it. Not that I'm wearing it just yet, it's still pretty warm most days here but I can't wait for winter to finally hit and I can start wearing this!

My sister is the one modeling the cowl for me, super nice of her since she was very pregnant when she did it!

Go check out the other awesome cowls made for the CAL at Maybe Matilda's and maybe vote for me? (if you like my cowl!)

Thanks for stopping by today!
