Envious Beech Wood: Done!
I am in love with cowls! Every knitter has their favorite thing to make, and this is now mine! I've already cast on a second cowl, this time using the Nutkin sock stitch pattern in Miss Bab's Cleopatra.I figured the turns in the stitch pattern will work ok with the striping / pooling that's going on. If not, I'll just call it an experiment and keep it for myself.
I've become very inspired by the cowl, and have some fun ones planned. (Gee, I wonder what everyone is getting for Christmas this year?) We'll see how long this fad lasts with me. I do tend to get bored easily, which is why I have only one new cowl on the needles instead of all 5 that I want to make. I have two skeins of Shubui Sock in Earth, a skein of Shimmer in Galaxy, two skeins of Yarn Love Elizabeth Bennet in Friendship and a Marianne Dashwood in Secret Garden, and a skein of Bamboo in Red Jester that are all screaming MAKE ME INTO SOMETHING!
