So, anyway, I finished Poinsettia. Not blocked yet - our pipes froze AGAIN, and when you're melting snow for water, it's kind of hard to justify using any for soaking a cowl. (We're finally thawed again. Argh. I'll get to the blocking soon!)
I edited my nostrils out of this shot. Be glad.Pattern: Poinsettia by Anne Hanson
Yarn: Plymouth Galway (I think - I can't find the ball band now. Lovely yarn. Purple with lots of little blips in red, blue, and cream.)
Needles: I used a size 3, rather than the size 4 called for. I still could have gone a size smaller. I'm a very loose knitter.
Mods: None, other than needle size.
The yarn isn't as soft as I'd like, but I think it'll soften up with a good blocking. Love love love the color!
And I may pursue a new career as a Masked Avenger!

Love the cowl, I really need to knit a few of those. After I finish my UFO stuff....
I agree on the color. Hope it warms you in the freezing basement. Ugh. Nothing you can do to protect the pipes in the future?
Your Poinsettia is beautiful Gayle! I printed that one off when she designed it, but haven't yet gotten to it - yet..
Love it. Warm, snuggly, handknit & purple- what could be bad???
Yeah, when you're melting snow for water, it is hard to use I for anything but the necessities. I remember that it took me three packed 12" high pots of snow for enough to (do a sort of) wash my hair. Sort of.
Your pictures look like my neighborhood. Where are you?
