Pattern: My own, hopefully written and released soon
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter MCN Lite in colorway "Sisters"
When I won this yarn from the ever generous IndieString for one of her giveaways, I knew I loved it, but wasn't sure what to do with it.
It was only when it so happened to sit on top of my copy of "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green that inspiration struck. The color of the yarn is almost an identical match to the cover. A few themed cables later and this cowl was born!
Infinities are a theme presented in the movie/book, that really caught my attention. I was sure I wanted to work them into the design.
So after recalling a cable idea my Dad had suggested for the infinity symbol, things just fell right into place.
After some expected trial and error (I knitted and frogged this puppy 7 times), I finally came up with something that used just enough yarn (I only had 4 grams left!) and looked how I wished.
Unlike other patterns I've come up with, I took much better notes this time around (including charting as I went), so I am really hopeful that I will be able to write this up sooner rather than later. It is my dream to put it up for sale with the proceeds going to one of the cancer foundations (I'm going to have to research some to find the best) for at least the first few months.

As always, thanks for stopping by.
