This is my latest collaboration with Sarah, The Plucky Knitter. We wanted to come up with something for when you have a little less than a whole sweater's worth of yarn (or time) on hand. To be honest, I was glad for the excuse since the image of a cowl and boots and a capelet had stayed high on my list of Must Haves ever since she taunted me with this blog post in August.And now we can all have them!
This was knit out of Plucky's gorgeous MCN Lite, in Peep Toes.
There are three sizes: S (32-36) 700 yds, M (38-42) 950 yds, and L (44-50) 1200 yds.
Gauge = 5 sts, 7 rows per 1" on #7 needles, lightly blocked.
The PDF is available for $6, either on the sidebar here or Ravelry, with the rest of the details.

More important for right now, while you're surfing the interwebs between holiday lunch and your Christmas shopping at work, though, are the photos and design details right?

Some fun with ribbing.
Some fun with ribbing.
A cross between a turtleneck and a cowl, slouchy and open but not too big.
A big flowy cable balancing out the simpler lines of the ribbing and drawing the eye to the center.
(It's the same on the front and the back).
A short, more flattering length near the elbow, so your waist shows below.
And a little flare, keeping things from drawing in under the bust, and making that waist look even smaller underneath. Plus a little last bit of ribbing detail.

I'm thinking the flare and the length keep those hands and arms free for a drink ;-)
And burbon was the clear winner in the burbon vs. rum question last night.
And this sparkly drink seems perfect for a pre-holiday dinner or a cocktail party, doesn't it?
