All About the Cowl

by Kay~Kacey on 12/15/2008

This year I’m all about the cowl. I can’t seem to quit knitting them. They are a quick knit, and I love to wear one with a button up shirt, or over a long sleeve tshirt.

lime cowl
This lime colored cowl to go with my Wicked tshirt. Though this one is a bit too big, I think I’ll rip it out and make it smaller. Or just make a new one… Pattern here. Birthday cowl.

sock yarn cowl

This one from sock yarn held doubled. I mean, sometimes sock yarn is too pretty to hide in your shoes, you know? Pattern Here. Gloria cowl.

cabled cowl

This one is my favorite. Don’t you love it’s cabley goodness? I made this pattern up. I used Frog Tree Meriboo yarn…a mixture of merino and bamboo. Lovely yarn. If I can find my notes, I could post the pattern if anyone is interested.

It’s very darling with my snowflake necklace, isn’t it??

tudora cowl

This one in organic cotton cabley goodness. With my ruby red slippers pin! Tudora pattern. (though I modified it a bit to fit my yarn guage.) It’s from the online knitting magazine Knitty.

I’m having the hardest time taking pics of me in these cowls. My arms aren’t long enough! I’ll have to have SuperGuy do a photo shoot for me, okay? :secret: Anyway, chances are, if you’re on my Christmas list this year, you’re getting a handknit cowl!

So, do any of you knit? Or what is your handicraft of choice? Or do you not have one? Well, I’d talk more, but I’m off to go knit another cowl…
