Indulgent Cowl

 


Oh my, I thoroughly enjoyed this project! I loved how light and easy on the hands it was to knit it up. I still have lots of yarn left over to start another one moving the colors around. Would I keep both? Maybe or maybe I would place the second one in the gift box for whenever I need a gift for someone. Do you have a knit gift box?

    That looks like a lovely cowl and I hope it keeps you warm throughout the winter. I don't have a knit gift box, but I wish I did!

    Beautiful! Love the yarn you chose. I don't have a gift "box." But I do have a tote bag in my closet where I hoard (LOL) gifts that I have either made or bought.

    Very pretty, Karen. You do such lovely work. I do have a knit gift box. It mostly contains dishcloths and scrubbies. I wish there was a need for hats, cowl and scarves where we lived. I would fill the box up with those.

    That turned out really nicely! Thanks to you, I found that pattern and am working on one, too. But mine won't be finished as fast as yours was. ;>)

    Great cowl! I don't have a "gift" box but I do have a "stuff I've knit and will probably never wear because, really, how many hats, mittens, scarves and shawls does a girl need?" box.

    What a pretty cowl. I have recently started a box of knit and crochet items as I can't always whip of something quickly anymore.

    !!! one of my very favorite patterns and it looks so pretty in those colors. I do not have a gift box - I want to "know" who I'm knitting for while I knit.

    A great finish. A knit gift box is smart to have. I usually tend to think of myself only.

    Your cowl is lovely, it looks so warm too. I am glad to hear that knitting it was easy on your hands. I don't have a knit gift box but I do have a gift cupboard full of unwanted gifts that we have been given and are not really things that we would use, or items that I have found that are greatly reduced and might make a suitable gift one day.

    What a pretty cowl. I love the colors. I have a tote bag in a closet where I store knits to be gifted. I like having a few things on hand. Goodness knows I have more than enough hand knits to keep me warm.

    I like the colours and it looks so cosy! If I could knit I'd definitely keep a box with things I could gift to people, such a thoughtful present :)

    Hope that you are having a nice week :) It's a big week here - first week of school for the kids after the summer holidays!

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

  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).
