Purple Lacy Cowl with a Rose

I think I recently got bitten (or re-bitten) by a crochet bug. I simply cannot stop crocheting. I have a few projects on my hooks already, and I have so many new ideas in my head. Today I bought three different kinds of new yarn... 

And here is a lacy cowl fresh off my (size F) hook. I love how light and airy it is. The weather is still very warm, but this cowl looks lovely even on a t-shirt. 

I absolutely love the way it turned out. However, as I look at the picture now, I realize it would've looked even better in contrasting colors, so the rose would stand out more. For example, a white cowl and a black rose, or a black cowl and a bright red rose! 

Well, that's something to try in the future, though to be honest I don't like making the same thing more than once.

I just added the pattern to my Etsy Shop.
