Here it is, on a real live person!

It’s had over a hundred downloads already! And, of course, BECAUSE so many people have already downloaded it and I was silly enough to not get it test-knit, there was a mistake :( Nothing major–I just missed an ENTIRE LINE. Luckily, SunflowerKnits knit one up super-quickly and let me know :D All of the download links have been uploaded, but if you don’t feel like downloading a new one, just add in another row to the end of the main pattern repeat–Row 10: P15, K1, P to end. (exactly like rows 6 &8)

Oh, and just to prove that the BF is in fact still alive from our halloweenie adventure, here’s a pic of him from our walk…

I’ve made a new pattern, guys, and it’s available as a free PDF download. It is a one-skein super-bulky cowl. I’ve called it Arboreal Cowl, because of the tree branch lace motif that goes up the side. I hope you like it!
