27-28.1.09 Magenta Mossy Cowl


(Sorry for the bad pictures - this was very hard to photograph...)
The original MOSSY COWL is a design by KATIE HIMMELBERG (free pattern on Knitting Daily), but it uses a Naturally Mist 1-ply Yarn. Since I am allergic to natural yarn, I used 3 x 100gr (+/- 100m) skeins of acrylic Vitalgo Polo (Shade ~512), made in Romania. I am not sure I am not allergic to this specific one too (apparently it's not uncommon). Anyway, to fit the form to the new yarn, I made some changes:
Instead of the last part:

"Rep FPtr rnd 2 more times—3 tr rnds completed. Work FPdc rnd 5 times, then work FPtr rnd 3 times, then work FPdc rnd 5 more times. Fasten off and weave in ends."

I did:

"Rep FPtr rnd 2 more times—3 tr rnds completed. Work FPdc rnd 5 times, then work FPqdr rnd 3 times, then work FPtr rnd 3 more times. Fasten off and weave in ends."
(qdr=quadruple)

An aposteriori remark is that I did all the dc with entering the back loops only.
