Two FO's and a Smile

Happy Sunday everyone!

One of the 2 WIPs I talked about last Wednesday is done! It's my Longing for Autumn jacket and I'm wearing it as I'm typing this post! ^-^
I haven't made better pictures yet but here's an impression of what it looks like:
 It's so nice and comfy to wear, I'm really happy with it! I used a smaller hook (because I didn't have a bigger one) and compensated with using the Large-size startchains and pattern repeats and it worked! **Smile!**

And for a Christmas Present I wanted to make the Martha Cowl scarf but unfortunately the pattern was taken down, so I decided to make a granny scarf instead. Such an easy pattern, and done before I knew it!
I'm still going to try to replicate the Martha Cowl scarf since many ravelers seem to have done so. But I'm happy I made the granny scarf as well!

So there you have it, a two FO's and a big smile!

Hope you all have a lovely week! x Lily

  4. Your mods seemed to have worked out perfectly - the sweater looks great on you!

    I think you can reverse engineer the martha cowl. Many of the ravelers have detailed notes in their project pages to give you a starting point. Good luck!

  6. Your jacket looks lovely and obviously is as you are able to wear it, not just look at it, like a jumper I made which was so heavy when it was made, I couldn't bear to put it on! Your scarf looks good too, what a shame the pattern you wanted isn't available any more. I am still very taken by your Canada cowl and it definitely on my list.

  8. You've outdone yourself. Your autumn jacket looks great on you and I love that you did it in white. Too bad about the Martha cowl but your granny scarf looks great -- I love baby blue with grey. Very pretty.

  10. Hooray for you! What a fun jacket to wear and layer with. A great warm scarf to keep one's neck cozy! Why do you think the Martha Cowl was taken down?

  12. Thank you Marie and Sarah!

    Kepanie I love your idea to add a scarf! I have no idea why the pattern was taken down, but I think it's a shame though!
