finished: good luck cowl

I am in love with this cowl. It’s so soft and warm — totally not perfect for today’s heat index of 103 degrees. Sooner or later the weather has to cool off and eventually it will get cold. I will be ready.

I used almost every bit of yarn for this. Couldn’t even finish another round with what was left. The Malabrigo Silky Merino is a dream to work with and is so nice on the neck. Definitely worth the splurge.

pattern: It took awhile, but I finally memorized the pattern: Drop Stitch Knitter’s Good Luck Cowl. Photos were taken before blocking. Previously blogged here and here.

good luck cowl knitting

I did a little bit of airplane knitting while on vacation. It’s not exactly mindless knitting, but it distracted me from all of the stormy turbulence we encountered.

I really love the pattern and the design would probably “pop” more with a solid color yarn.

I’m no longer ripping back tiny mistakes if they aren’t too noticeable. I’ve figured out how to yarn over here and there to hide them pretty good.

I started this cowl in February. At this rate, it might get finished before the cold weather hits.

I mentioned last week that I started knitting a cowl for myself. A knitting project! For me!

I treated myself to some Malabrigo Silky Merino over the holidays. The pattern is Good Luck Cowl by Drop Stitch Knitter.

What have you made for yourself lately?
