Finished Chenille Cowl

O.K. Here is my finished chenille cowl! I loved this project! It was very easy and quick to make! Here is my review a la Crimson Purl!
Book - So Simple Crochet
Author - Melody Griffiths for Creative Homeowners
Pattern - Chenille Cowl
Level - Beginner
Time to complete - about four hours
Yarn - Lion Brand Chenille Thick & Quick, 1 skein each color antique white, khaki and Champagne
Needle size - N
Pro's - It's very easy and quick.

Con's - I never figured out how they got the fringe to twist! Also the pattern is one size fits all which isn't true for us busty women! I had to add several additional rows to the pattern. If I make it again for myself I would increase the stitches at least by five!

Overall this was a fabulous pattern. I will make a few of these to give as gifts this year!

This is my finished KCAL project for the Ebony Elite group. I may have another one to show later this week! This was too fun to make and easy!

Smooches!

KCAL Chenille Cowl Progress

Here is my chenille cowl I am doing for the KCAL with Ebony Elite. I am having some sizing issues. I wish I would have added a few more rows of the first color to the cowl. Now it only shows on the collar portion. I have decided to add a few more rows to the cowl of the other colors to make it long enough for me. I have broad shoulders and I wear an extra large in tops. This pattern appears to be made for a much smaller person. So I need to improvise some. I do like the way its working out though. I hope to have it finished by the time I leave for home on Thursday.

This is a picture of the cowl with the collar not rolled. This is a picture with the collar rolled. I would have preferred more of the cream on the shoulders but it appears the cream will show only on the collar. I know for next time now!

I will post the finished product by the end of the week!

Toodles!
