Fall Cowl

I went to the cottage all set to make a poncho for Hugh, but when we arrived, he declared that he didn't really want one. This was good news for me, since making a poncho is the kind of tedious knitting I would only do for a beloved child. Luckily, I had brought some spare emergency fun knitting in the form of some Noro yarn for this cowl. I used a cowl pattern I've done before, and this sucker got whipped up in no time. I have big plans to make myself a corduroy fall coat, and this is going to go with it just perfectly. Pattern: Cowl'd and Frosty Morning
Yarn: Noro Iro in fall colours

Creamsicle Camisole

I've had this yarn in my stash for a couple of years now, and have loved it, and so finally decided to put it to good use this summer. This is a little tank top of my own creation, knit from the top down to use as much of this yarn as possible. I'm very happy with this summery creation.
Pattern: self-designed (of the "fly by the seat of my pants" variety)
Yarn: Needful Yarns "Cotton Joy"
