I bought this yarn during the yarn crawl, it came with a free cowl pattern. Interesting design, you start knitting flat, like a triangle shawl than then you join and knit a simple lace pattern in the round.The opening is where the neck will go.I made it a little shorter than the pattern called for, I wanted it to be a cowl, not a short poncho. Looks nice to me at this length.View from the back. I think this is going into my gift pile yes, it’s lovely and will make a lovely gift.
Then I started socks, but this doesn’t look like socks! Well, I didn’t get far when I realized that I didn’t like knitting this yarn in a tight gauge for socks. So instead, I started another hitchhiker scarf. Love the way the color is being distributed, of course this might change radically as the scarf grows. Either way, it’s a fun easy knit.
Natalie from the knitting group was de-stashing, gorgeous yarns. So I picked up this.Seduce is a linen blend, grey isn’t a color I wear often. But I like it enough so I am making a very simple tee shirt. I looked on Revelry to see what people made with this yarn, which has been discontinued a while ago. Two items, simple Tee or a pattern called Pucker by Norah Gaughan. Problem with that one is that one knits a band of puckers at the neck line, and then, there is too much fabric in the front of the shirt. This is one of those shirts that looks great on a larger woman and too baggy on a small one. As it is, my shirt will be loose and somewhat baggy, but I don’t see any reason to add any other design element.
It is knitting up quickly and I like the variation in the yarn. I’ll probably finish the shirt first and then move on to the hitchhiker.

The cowl is interesting! I like the shape and the lace pattern too! Which store gave that pattern away?
