Tri Color Cowl


I finished this cowl last week and am extremely pleased with the results.  This cowl is oh so soft!  I substituted a different yarn for the project, Plymouth yarn Incan Spice.  I wanted a blend that didn't necessarily have to have cashmere in it.  There's a bit of yak and silk in this wool/alpaca blend.


I could easily knit this one again and again.  There's something meditative in knitting a simple knit design.  This cowl has enough pattern changes to make it interesting but plenty of TV knitting blended in.

    That looks delightfully soft and warm and like a cowl you would want to wear all the time!

    Really very pretty! I have a friend who knit four of these for gifts for her family, in varying yarns. She said that same thing as you - it doesn't get boring because it's always changing. Wear it in good health!

    Fun cowl! I'm working on a very similar pattern, so it's nice to see that you can really pull it up to keep your head warm, too.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
