I am always excited to talk about my new designs, but this time I am super excited because my design appears on the cover of the Fall 2106 issue of Interweave Crochet! As a designer this is something you wish for every time you are published in a magazine. This is the 17th Interweave/ F+W Publishing magazine that my designs have appeared in. I guess the 17th time is a charm, made extra special because this is the last issue with the wonderful Marcy Smith at the helm as editor. She was so wonderful to work with and has consistently put together stunning magazines issue after issue! She is moving on to new adventures and I wish her all the best.
For this issue, I was inspired by their call for cable designs and I decided to make a seamless cowl. I didn't want a seam to spoil the flow of wonderful cables! It is more of a challenge to design something seamless, but there is something so amazing about crocheting something in the round that appears to have no real beginning or end!
Cables are very interesting to make in crochet, and if you haven't tried the technique, don't wait any longer! This issue has several beautiful cable designs, catering to a variety of skill levels.
This cowl is versatile and can be worn as a headband as well! A great thing to take when traveling to somewhere cold!

ReplyDeleteIts awesome and gorgeous , Looks very beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you Flower Boy and National Citizen! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have completed a practice version of this cowl. I assumed that the stitch count should be 96 at the end of each round, and adhered to this throughout. But a problem develops at the end of Round five which I tried to overcome cleanly instead of forcing the result. Neither the words nor the graphic help very much. Perhaps a video would help. I love this design. So I am going to try again with different yarn.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I used a foundation hdc row at the outset to give more stretch to the edge, which makes for a more comfortable garment.
Congratulations on getting featured! I bought the magazine to make your design, so it was a good marketing choice on the editors' part. I am new to crochet cables and have a question: in Round 4, when I get to the FPdc stitches (i.e. stitches 5-8, 13-16, etc.), am I supposed to work the sc into the skipped sts in the back (which are actually scs from Round 2), or into the FPdc stitches in the front from Round 3? (I also posted this question on Ravelry)
ReplyDeleteHi Aufildesjours!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You should work into the FPdc sts from Round 3. :-)
