In which I'm a selfish non-giver...
So I knit something. Something I love. Something I was going to gift to someone else...but it's not happening. I just can't part with it. I really shouldn't feel bad since I gift more than half of what I knit...but still. Today I feel like the selfish non-giver. I'll get over it.
Details:
Pattern: Gloria Cowl by Orinda5
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter Merino Fingering in Lipstick Jungle (held doubled)
Needles: KP Options size 8 6" circs
Mods: none
Outcome: L-O-V-E.
Labels: cowl luff, Plucky love

Love it! I'm going to have to knit one of those for me!
Yay! Something you are finally keeping. Good girl. I love it, the color is awesome!
DO NOT FEEL GUILTY!!! Get over that right now. You deserve that cowl. And it's far to pretty to give away.
I absolutely love how it turned out. I think I may have to use my merino fingering for a cowl for me too.
Enjoy it!!!!
Your open admission of non-giving simply paves the way for the rest of us. I love the cowl! And the colorway! And that you are keeping it all to yourself:)
that's a great color:o) i don't blame you for not gifting it - i bet it feels like butta;o)
Keep it!!! :-)
Gorgeous! I love the color. I remember seeing that skein in her shop. It must be SO soft. :)
Love it, beautiful color, gorgeous job, so of course you should keep it...after all it gets SOOO cold in AZ! hahahahahaha!
It's perfect on you! How could you give it away!?!?
First off, that's beautiful. Secondly, I wouldn't feel a bit bad about being a selfish knitter, for me personally, knitting is about the only thing I do just for myself. I've been known to knit a few gifts but generally speaking, it's a way to do something just for me. So just embrace it! And once again, beautiful!!!!!!!
the color is phenomenal - love that pink! and, good for you that it is all for you! enjoy! it looks great on you :)
ooo la la.
