Pattern: Ice Queen, from the Winter 2007 issue of Knitty
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Suri Laceweight, in the Gypsy Rose colourway. This was really nice yarn to work with, and is warm and soft to wear.
Needles: 3.75mm
Notes: I wanted more of a neckwarmer than a cowl, so I cast off after 9 inches. I also wanted the edgings to be simpler than specified in the pattern, so I begun and ended the cowl with 6 rows of garter stitch.
Here’s the ‘sensible’ picture of me wearing the cowl (albeit as a lacy bandit):
Here are the rest…
love it!
Ooh very pretty, love all the “mad” photos too!

Beautiful color! Love the photos. It looks very cozy.
These photos made me smile so much! You are so adorable (and funny!!) – and that cowl is lovely!
Ohhh, so pretty. That’s been in my queue since it came out but I don’t need one and everybody else has an aversion to things touching their necks! Maybe I do need one. Can we vote for the picture we like best?
hahaha, love the pictures. The cowl really does look very soft and comfy.

Oh wow, that turned out lovely. I’ve been thinking of making that for ages…maybe i will after all.

Now, those are the kind of FO photos I like! Too cute. The cowl looks scrumptious–beautiful colorings in that yarn and at least from here, it looks soft as a feather!
Gorgeously goofy!
it kind of reminds me of cousin it from the adams family (don’t know if you had that in the u.k., so not sure this will mean anything……very cute.
Very nice!
LOVE the modeled shots
The Ice Queen is one of those patterns I don’t consider until I see it knit up in a fabulous way like you’ve done. Beautiful!
gorgeous. Colours work well with that pattern, better than all the pastel versions I’ve seen.
