Knitting: Noble Cowl

I first spotted this pattern as I was knitting a basket weave scarf for a friend, and loved it so much I took on some lace projects so I would be familiar with lace knitting. A few weeks ago, I took this on and it’s done! I actually finished last week and only got around to posting a picture now. 

I used the Malabrigo single ply in color pale khaki. It’s beautiful to work with, although pushing the stitches back and forth hurt my fingers after a while (I tend to knit a little tighter than some people, I think). Steam blocking didn’t work out the unevenness well enough so I wet blocked it and it turned out beautifully :) 

I hope my sister likes it! More details here.
