New WIP: Burberry Redesign

I cast on Julianne Smith's Burberry Inspired Cowl yesterday. I started by casting-on the 58 stitches the pattern calls for. However, it just looked way too wide so I decided to redesign the pattern. My version is 42 stitches and the pattern repeats every 22 rows instead of 30 rows. 

This is how far I'd gotten last night: 30 rows which is just over one pattern repeat. The purple yarn at the bottom is where I provisionally cast-on. This is my first time to try a provisional cast-on. I hope I did it correctly.

This is how far I've gotten this morning: 2 full pattern repeats. The color differences between last night's photo and this morning's photo are due to lighting. I opened the window this morning to shed a little light on the subject. Last night, of course, I was just relying on room lighting. In person, the color looks somewhere between the two.  In the next update I'll try to get outside so I can get a better representation.

This is also my first time to try cabling. Again, I hope I'm doing it correctly. Even if I'm not, I think it's looking ok.
