Finishes, Number 1

I am ready to show three finishes! Yay! Number 1 is the cowl I crocheted for my daughter-in-law for her birthday in March. This pattern is in the Winter 2012 issue of Love of Crochet magazine. The cowl was designed by Carrie Carpenter. I was having some trouble with the pattern when I first started. Come to find out the directions were not completely shown in the magazine. I wrote to the editor and she sent the correct directions. She also sent a link on their web site for magazine corrections. Next time I will check for corrections before I start a project so I am not so frustrated.
 Finish #2 and #3 to come!

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Carrie, just this morning I noticed the Scripture Photo in your side bar - not sure if it is new, but it was exactly what I need to "hear"! He is so faithful - even when we are not - I've been grumbling this morning!

Blessings

The cowl turned out very pretty, lovely color. I mostly quilt but I do like to play with yarn once in a while, they make such interesting yarns now a days.

I love how that cowl came out. I tried one earlier and it was just coming out to bulky. Yours is nice.

Cowls are so fun.. Love this one. You might also check Ravelry. Most patterns are in there & folks post their modifications & experience. I always check the project pages before begining a pattern. You are really advancing quickly with your crochet!
