That shawl isn’t getting done this weekend. I mean, at the time, it was very plausible because nothing else was happening this weekend. But THEN, on Friday, I got a call requesting an interview!! Hooray! It’s for a really cool company, so I’m pretty excited. Anyway, that meant that today I needed to go shopping for an awesome new outfit, and then tomorrow I have a hair appointment, and there’s just not enough time to finish a shawl, no matter how small it is.
Plus, this happened: 
I went to my LYS on Friday to get the contrast color for that shawl, and I did find a lovely teal, but on my way to pay, I noticed a whole table full of Madelintosh. Seriously, a whole table covered in gorgeous MadTosh browns and greens and blues. And this one came home with me and I had to cast on that night and now I have a new cowl, the Seaglass Cowl.
This is a better representation of the color, so you can see why I couldn’t resist. This is their A.S.A.P. super bulky yarn and it might be my new favorite yarn ever.
I used Jen Geigley’s Feedback pattern but modified it a bit. I didn’t have 16″ size 17 needles, so I tried 15s and cast on more stitches. I started with 50 but that was too small, so I settled on 60. It’s not as tall as the Feedback but I’m more than happy with it.
The real question now is whether I’ll keep it, or put it in the gift pile? Hmmm….
Ooh that yarn is lovely, I can see why you got distracted by it. Great news about the interview. Good luck!
Yes, I’m lucky I made it out with just one skein! Thank you!
Good luck and I think that is a keeper!
Thank you!! And I’m thinking the same. 🙂
That is lovely, such a rich colour too…for me it would be a keeper 🙂 All the best for tomorrow.
I think I might have to keep it, even though I don’t wear much green. I’ll find something to wear it with! Thanks so much!
Congrats for getting the interview! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
And yes, I can totally see why this yarn had to go home with you 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 Isn’t it stunning? Thank goodness the other color was brown, which was pretty but not nearly as tempting as this was.
That is stunning
Love that color
