{finished} State Street Cowl

I started this project in April....and then finally picked it up last week to finish it off!  I think I completed this project just in time for frosty mornings and chilly evenings.  Too bad I can't seem to get motivated to finish this one too....

It was a really quick knit and relatively simple pattern to follow.  I love purchasing patterns from Quince & Co. - they are always so easy to follow and their photography is lovely!

Yarn: Loops & Threads Cozy Wool in Mushroom

Mods:  I started with size 11 needs intending to switch to size 13 (instead of the instructed 13, then switch to 15).  However, I moved while I was in the middle of the project so I ended up losing some of my knitting supplies (sad sad!).  I unintentionally decided to do three pattern repeats in size 11 needles.  And I also didn't have enough yarn to complete a fourth repeat...but that is okay because I actually really like the outcome!

Raveled here!

Yes, we took these photos at a restaurant :)


I will admit...at first, I was not really in love with it.  I believe my exact words to a good friend were, "I think it looks better sitting on my couch's armrest than on me!"  And she just laughed at me.  But after a couple wears, I fell in love.  First completed knit of the season!!
