how many times can I blog about the same thing?
Apparently, several! (I swear, Carole, this really is a new post!)
I finished the cowl that I showed you yesterday. I put it on in the car this morning so that I could take a photo, and I haven't taken it off yet! It's warm and snuggly and I lurve it. This surprises me greatly, since I didn't think I was a cowl person. Now I want to make cowls out of all my single skeins!
This one was really simple. A tube, about 20" around, with seed stitch borders. I threw in a row of decreases in the middle (decreased about 10% of the stitches) so that the top would be snugger and the bottom would flare over my collar bones. I love the stripeyness.
And a gratuitous closeup.
There might well be more cowls in my future.

Great use for handspun and it's very handsome, too!

Very nice cowl. It looks so soft and snuggly.

I like, I like! :-) This is a super-fantastic idea for those small skeins of handspun. Plus you get all the warmth of a scarf without the trailing ends (and the massive time-suck.)

Very nice! That snuggly handspun... mmm... bet it makes you want to spin more too. :)
