Bewilder Cowl

Inspired by the simple but dramatic cowl at Knitterly, I made this cowl using Universal Yarns' Bewilder that I found on my visit to The Twisted Stitch. Knitted in the round, the finished cowl measures 24" around & 9" high. It takes just one skein, and only one evening. The yarn is very soft, and this would make a perfect gift, but it would need to be handwashed.

Organic Cotton Baby Blanket

Well, this project took awhile. I didn't work on it that often, mostly when I met with my knitting group. I had bought the yarn to make "Hey, Teach" but then decided I didn't like the way the yarn split. I almost gave it away, but it made two baby blankets without being too annoying.

Another Alpaca Cowl

Did you know has a metallic sparkle? I didn't until I saw the yarn in person...so then I had to get some. It is very similar to Baby Alpaca Aire and Lima in color and construction, but that added glimmer...

So, I made the Canaletto Cowl that I'd been wanting to try for awhile. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it was a feature of the lattice lace stitch, but it does twist a bit. But overall, I'm very pleased with the result.
