[FO] - Broken Ribbed Cowls
Besides the blanket, I whipped up two cowls. This first was meant to be broken ribbed hat. After finishing the decreases, however, I didn't like how it looked scrunched at the top. I kept trying it on, pulling at parts of the hat to style it correctly, until finally I looked to Michael (the fiance) with puppy dog eyes and a sad pout, and said those dreaded words, "I have to frog this." Trying to cheer me up, he took the hat and pulled it over his face and said "But it's so warm!". That's when I decided to just rip out the decreases and bind off, turning the hat into a cowl or neckwarmer.
