I started immediately on a cowl and knit most of it at the craft fair on the Sunday when it was rather quiet. I finished the rest of it last weekend and have already been wearing it a lot. I have grown rather font of it, so much so that I have started to wear it indoors which isn't a good idea given that it is still fairly warm. What am I going to do when the real cold comes?
The colour is Cove and what I love about it is that it has every now and then a blue thread shining through the earthy colours. The used a free pattern from the Madeline Tosh webpage. The knit itself is a honeycomb pattern which gives the cowl a lovely thickness and the pattern itself is very easy to follow.
That's a beautiful cowl, I'm just learning to crochet and am determined to make myself a cowl this winter, as I love big knits, I just need a little more practice first. The yarn looks beautiful, and you're right, the patina on the blue is lovely. Ange
ReplyDeleteThe cowl is beautiful and the wool and pattern look super. I also love your new header and the quilt is stunning. (May be late to mention as I am playing 'catch up!)
