So, here it is: my Stripe Ed Cowl:
(worn long or doubled)
This cowl was inspired by an out of stock Madewell cowl that I saw on Pinterest some time ago and by my daughter and her friends, who are just learning to knit. This is something a beginner can enjoy working while practicing new techniques in small, manageable amounts (like jogless stripes and provisional cast on- fun, fun!) It also doesn't take a ton of yarn, so has helped me whittle down the stash. (knit in the round)
I also had to pose for all these pictures while southern gentlemen slowed their cars to squint and give me a look like, "Girl, you got a sock aroun' yo' neck." On top of that, I learned how to make a nice looking document on Open Office... finally. Open Office is the bane of my existence. So, yeah, I'm feeling like I accomplished something today.
(What a doofus.)
Here's a link to the free pattern and to my Ravelry.
Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI totally feel so silly when I have pictures taken of me when I am wearing my knitted goods as well. You look great and congrats on the pattern!!
Thanks Ashlee. I'm glad I wrote it up and will do it again, but I'm also looking forward to zoning out over someone else's pattern for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI already downloaded it and I might give it a try - I've got some yellow yarn waiting for a project. :)
Great, Severien! If you try it I'd like some feedback to know if the pattern is clear and easy to follow. It is much harder to describe how to knit than I thought it would be.
