The cowl I made for mum was finished on the 10th, I just haven't had chance to post about it until now. Pictures:

Done, trying for fit:

Prompt: Fingerpaints

Okay, so I messed up when painting this mawata (also that pink is supposed to be scarlet, what's up with that colourcraft? Answer my email dammit) so I'm going to use it for "Fingerpaints" instead of the prompt I planned to use it for.



I'm also going to use it to test the "pattern" for my Phoenix cowl, so I've cast on 250 stitches and placed a stitch marker every ten stitches.

It's a Pun! (Prompt: Picking Flowers)

I'm making orifice hooks - sounds rude, but it's a bit of wire used to pick up the end of your spun yarn and pull it through a spinning wheel's orifice so you can attach it back to your fibre. Since I have the prompt, "picking flowers", I've made this one with heather flowers, so it's a picking tool made with flowers.

I think it fits, anyway.



I'm also making a shawl pin using a wild rose (here it is being sealed, and you can just about see it being set at the edge of the above picture), so I'll add that too as a back up:
