Foraminifera

I have been working on this cowl for what seems like ages.

I started it shortly after we arrived in our new home. 

Life seems to go on and it doesn't always include time to knit lace.

I tried to use little opportunities like when the kids were at swim lessons 

and I had a half our to sit and wait.  That was however too much, 

I would come home and have to knit back or pick up stitches and

otherwise fix the mistakes I made while trying to knit and watch the progress

of my Little Ones becoming swimmers. 

I did get a chance to knit a few stitches while we were at the Eiffel Tower.

When I say a few, I really mean 3sts.

So many times I sat working on this while my people were all sound asleep.  

Sometimes I would have a movie playing in the background, 

but I have to admit subtitled movies didn't work well.

Cast-Off

A little wash.

Blocking (or bolstering as the case is here)

 Off the Bolster.

 Finished. 

I can't seem to get a picture of the rippling effect of the yarn. 

It looks like shallow tropical blue water on a white sandy bottom...
