I finished something!

[ID: A crochet cowl in blue and green]

The main part is made with the "Nalbinding single crochet" stitch, as invented by Kris Stone of Light And Joy Designs. It's not nalbinding per se, more of a mix of techniques, and done with a normal crochet hook.

For more infos, refer to her video explaining it all:

After finishing that part, wanted to add an increasing edge so the cowl would cover a bit more neck and shoulder area.

That turned into

blo: (hdc, hdc, hdc, hdc, hdc inc) around. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Hook: 7 mm

Yarn: Viking of Norway "Nordlys", colourway 930

The yarn is actually fingering weight, so I actually used my Spinning Skillz and chainplied a skein and got a nice bulky yarn xD

And the result is a nice, bulky, soft and squishy and warm cowl and I love it 💚💙💚💙💚

Working on the Hooded Alpaca Poncho, 50 g of self-spun yarn at a time.

And I can even sit in my comfy Poäng chair after last weekend's cleaning marathon xD

(Also, please take note of the empty pickles jar as yarn bowl xD Been using it during plying as well.)

I've got a galaxy wound into a ball of yarn, so I'm gonna make a Galaxy Wrap.
