here a cowl, there a cowl, everywhere a cowl, cowl
Saturday, May 17, 2008Wow. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for all of my sweet comments on Ruby. Thank you so much! Every single one of them brought a huge smile to my face. 
I actually made this cowl back at the beginnin of February. Or the end of January. I really can't remember, but sometime around then.
They're everywhere though. And who doesn't have an extra skein of yarn hanging around to whip one of these babies up. Kim and Heather (among others) have made Grassy designed by the talented Larissa. Then there is the all famous Gloria. A definite winner. How about the Doloras Park Cowl? Super cute. And then there is Confection designed be the very talented Kirsten. Check out the flickr group for others you may like. As Mrs. Frick said, Cowls are the new scarf.
I used the basic pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, using Classic Elite, Charmed. The softest coziest yarn ever. I did a gauge for the yarn, and came up with the number of stitches to make it the same measurements as the one in the book. 20 X 13. So, I got 4 stitches to the inch, therefore, I cast on 80 stitches. (4 x 20) See, you can use any yarn you have at home just sitting around looking pretty. And looking like it should become another cowl.

Back Monday with Sea salt Brownies. Enjoy the weekend!
