FO- Gap-tastic Cowl

The cowl would have been finished much sooner, if I hadn't stopped working on it three days in. That said, it's done now.

For scale, this is me, wearing the cowl:

 And this is me, wearing the cowl looped twice around:

 It seemed too large, but perhaps it's a scale thing? For reference, I'm about 5'5", and I cast on 111 stitches and knit until it was 13" wide (rather than the 15" the pattern called for). Laid flat it was about 77" long, but I think it stretched out when hung around my neck.

 Wrapped around three times looked just ridiculous, possibly "high fashion"-y but ridiculous enough I elected not to take a picture.

In the picture above you can see the bound-off edge (top), compared with the cast-on edge (bottom). The cast-on was twisted German cast-on, which was sadly not stretchy enough. The bind-off was Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off, which was perfect.

Overall, I found the project disappointing, and I don't think it's the pattern's fault. I think it's the yarn (Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky). I just can't get behind anything with that much acrylic in it. Oh well. I suspect a child of mine will be eyeing this FO, trying to figure out how to acquire it.
