Until the cowls come home…
Who doesn’t love a good pun?
As I said last post, we will slowly work on catching up on all the Christmas knits so that I can have a fairly relaxed start to the year, knit wise at least.
The start of my year has not been relaxing. It has been one thing after another after another.
Its also why I didn’t post yesterday, if I did it would literally have gone:
Me: Bad weekend. Here. Photos.
Photos.
Me: Here, details.
Me: Done now. Take care.
Which would have been a somewhat poor post…not that this one will be much better as I am tired! Things have been fixed/improved, so the stress is easing, but I am still worn out.
Enough babble. This week we are going to look at cowls!
As a thank you for a wonderful weekend away, I decided to knit a little gift for the hosts. This first set is Duotone Cowl by Orange Flower Yarn, a free pattern, and even though it’s for the man of the house, Girl Gift Mitts by Debbie Meiklejohn knit to match.
Its a great pattern, very easy, lends well to stripes and with it being ribbed, fits everyone from my skinny wrists to manly shovel hands!
And for the lady of the house, Lizard Ridge Cowl by Janis Witkins, also a free pattern, and knit in Hufflepuff colours. Again, a pair of Girl Gift Mitts to match!
These were both cowl patterns I wanted to try, so I was more than happy to knit these as gifts.
Right, until next post, take care!
Wool Count
Starting total – 880
Wool used – 1 (Woo!)
Wool bought – 0
Wool given to me – 2 (so very pretty balls of wool too!)
Wool gifted to others – 0
Wool handspun – 0
Total – 881 (Net difference: +1)
I’m glad things are coming together, even if it is still somewhat manic!
I can confirm that the mitts did indeed fit both the MILs dainty fingers and the FILs spade like hands. The cowls were also much admired, so as far as gifts go, they were perfect.
