10-13-2023 Picked this up to finally duplicate stitch the flowers hibiscus Only 28 to go smiling_face_with_3_hearts

09-22-2023 Much hApPiEr after blocking. SUPER SOFT!! Measures 26”x9” smiling_face_with_3_heartshibiscussmiling_face_with_3_hearts

Stitching duplicate stitches for 56 flowers takes time …

09-21-2023 Will block and duplicate stitch flowers when dry hibiscus Measures 21”x8” before blocking.

FINISHED knitting white_check_mark smiling_face_with_3_hearts

Beat that Yarn roosterrolling_on_the_floor_laughing Had about 6 1/2” yards of MC left!!!

Knit K1P1 ribbing and did simple bind off in ribbing pattern heart_eyes

Knit up to row 21 … only 3 more rows of stranded pattern … I DID IT heavy_heart_exclamation_mark_ornament

09-20-2023 Knit up to row 14 of my final repeat this morning … predict before blocking my cowl will measure 24” x 8”. Chasing that Yarn rooster with my MC Off White, but I am pretty sure I have just enough smiling_face_with_3_hearts

09-18-2023 Knit up to row 9 of second repeat this morning …

09-16-2023. Knit up to row 3 of second repeat of chart …

09-14-2023 Finally decided the color of my flower centers, which I will duplicate stitch after blocking. hibiscus

09-12-2023 Knit up to row 19 of first repeat of two. Chasing the yarn rooster with my MC

Picking this up to knit because it is sooooo soft and pretty to knit two_heartssparkling_hearttwo_hearts

03-11-2023 Knit up to row 13. Trying to keep my colorwork tension loose, but I realize I will have to block this hard to get it to lay smooth.

Knitting is easier once dropping the green, but I am not cutting to weave ends. Only have a few rows before picking up green again.

03-10-2023 Finished ribbing and set up. Knit 5 rows of flower chart. Using 3 colors and holding my pale pink with Rowan Kidsilk Haze is finicky, but worth it wink

Long Tail Cast on 196 (plus 1) and joined in the round to knit ribbing.

Finally decided to knit MC in Off-white, flowers in Pale Pink held with the prettiest shade of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and vines with one of my favorite Cinderella yarns named “Frog Prince” green frog I will duplicate stitch my flowers with a Deep Pink rose colored yarn. All this yarn is left over sock yarn yarn

03-09-2023 Discovered this pretty cowl on Instagram. Found and bought the pattern quickly on Ravelry. I have wonderful leftover sock yarn in my stash to knit it up yarn
