{finished} Avery Cowl

This was a really simple knit, albeit rather time-consuming.  But I loved the rhythm of knits and purls creatively placed to produce a fun scheme of textured diamonds.  I also loved using the yarn Osprey from Quince & Co., and I am definitely looking forward to ordering again from them again!

When I finished this last night, I could not decide whether or not I should lightly block it because I was worried that it would stretch too much lengthwise.  But I tried it anyways and I think I am pleased with the results.

Yarn:  Osprey by Quince & Co. in Honey

Mods:  None this time!  Followed the pattern as written, even purchased the same yarn.  However, I should mention that I ordered three skeins of Osprey and ended up having to start on a third skein for the last 3.5 rows.  Which was a little annoying.  But from reading other knitters' project pages on Ravelry and realizing that others have also ran out of yarn towards the end, I don't feel so bad and am just thankful that I had some extra yarn.  Maybe I am just a loose knitter.

Raveled here!

A little side note:  I was trying to finish this project on my way down to Lethbridge on the weekend.  I received a text from a good friend and she asked, "are you knitting right now?"  Yes, of course I was.  What else would I be doing?! =)
