I have made several cowls this year. This one was a fun one, made from yarn I picked up at the knitting circle from my church. I don't know what brand or where it came from but ithe yarn was so full of energy that I had to do something exciting with it. Cowl and pom poms. No pattern. I just cast on a good amount of stitches on large knitting needles. I did not knit this in the round. I did a plain knit stitch back and forth and connected the cowl at the end. There is the essence of my favorite knitting. No pattern. Just knit until it becomes what I want it to. This doesn't always work as planned, but this time it did.
This cowl was made from a pattern I found in a knitting magazine at the library. I never cease to be amazed by the populated collection of books and magazines stored at the consortium of libraries in my area for yarn arts. Probably my favorite of the cowls I have made. Thanks to Brenda's steady hand for making a picture available for me. I am always the picture taker, seldom the picture takee (or whatever is the right way to say that. lol.)
