Finished: Acero Honey Cowl

The Honey Cowl pattern has been a huge hit in the knitting world for quite a while now. As of this writing, there are nearly 15,000 (!) Honey Cowl projects catalogued on Ravelry. I've made the pattern myself once before, as a shop sample at work.

Finally, craving a mindless, pretty, stash-busting sort of project, I decided to make one of my very own. The yarn you've seen before, in this post. And here's the finished product.

I prefer to wear it doubled, as a fabulous neck-warming thingy, instead of as one long loop. The colors are wonky in the pic on the right, but this was as good as I could get it to look. I had to tinker with the color balance to get this version that's a somewhat happy medium where the cowl colors look fairly okay, without my skin looking blue or yellow.

 

I'm kind of in love with this fabric. Dense yet drapey. The colors are accurate in this pic. Flattering palette for me.

 

Oh, why not--here's another view. I love it so!
