Black Ice
In my ongoing pursuit of ways to stay warm while walking across the windy parking lot at work, I finally made a pattern that I've had my eyes on for years.
May I present "Black Ice", my version of the Ice Queen pattern from Knitty.com
When Knitty Couture was having their closing sale, I bought a single skein of 100% cashmere laceweight, with this specific project in mind. I ended up also experimenting with beads, though I decided to add fewer than the pattern calls for. I did not want to be feeling beads against my cheek when I brought the it up to block the wind.
I hadn't counted on the fact that when it's worn up, it covers everything but my recently appearing "natural highlights." I swear my hair doesn't normally look quite that stark white!
When wearing it down, I end up with the lovely effect of an extra thick warm cowl.
