Cowls, cowls, and more cowls

             We had an audience with "The Queen" this week while her home is undergoing some renovation changes. You'll be seeing Joules in the coming weeks, I'm sure.

                          

Carole started off the evening of show and tell with her Childhood Memories scarf she made for herself using Periwinkle Sheep yarn. She couldn't remember the name of the color but let me tell you, it was stunning! The photo doesn't do justice to the deep, luscious, teal blue and her beautiful work. Great job Carole!

She was away but it didn't stop her from catching up on her knitting. She brought a hat and three cowls. Barbara brought us her pretty teal and sky blue striped Present Cowl on the bottom right.

Margaret made good progress on her cowl, The Cooler Side of Warm. 

Barbara started the Cushy Cowl using Periwinkle Sheep worsted weight superwash merino in Shields of Garnet. For some reason the free pattern is no longer available but I had a copy so here goes...

Pattern as follows:

104 yds Chunky yarn 

Size 10.5 circular needle, 16” long 

Cast on 68 sts (76). Place marker for beginning of round and join without twisting. 

Rnds 1-2: K1,P1repeat between * to end of round 

Rnds 3-4: P1, K3 rpt between * to end of round 

Rnds 5-6: K1,P1 rpt between * to end of round 

Rnds 7-8: K2, P1, K1 rpt between * to end of round

Work pattern 5X (40 rounds)

Bind off loosely.

Carole started another cowl tonight too.

Dorah started her Wolkig cowl tonight with more Periwinkle Sheep yarn called Wink. It has a bit of sparkle to it.

I had knitted a scarf many moons ago which curled into a tiny roll and looked like a waste of yarn so I frogged it and decided to make a bandana style cowl. I'm binding off the ruffle edge and holding my breath that I'll have enough yarn to finish.

My version of the Wolkig is half done. When it's finished it will look like it's smocked.

And the Lindan cowl was added to our inventory tonight.

The Ella Rae superwash merino will make it an easy to care for item.

I just heard Joules doing something she probably shouldn't be doing so I'm off! See you next week!
