O yes! Another one in the series, which includes the new yarn I ordered. Only one skein was the basis for all this color. Cascade 220 Superwash Sport. It's the yarn cake on the right that changed colors all along the way. Genius. I used contrasting yarns from my stash as the colors changed. Great way to use my yarns that are a lighter, thinner weight.
When the cowl part is worn in front the shawl part covers the back neck and shoulders, down to mid back. Very cozy and easy to wear under a coat.
I love how this design looks like a scarf that is tucked under at the neckline, but it is really sewn in place.
Enough congratulating myself (!!) This is available for $60 plus shipping. Email me.
++++++Then this is the cowl I finished knitting yesterday for the gal in Alaska. The Dotty Cowl. So soft and warm. When you have an item that is worn next to the skin, it is important to use yarn that has no itch factor. This is Malabrigo Rastita 100% merino, paired with Chroma Worsted from Knit Picks, the graduated pastel dots.
Beautiful colors. I have some sport yarn I bought before I knew what I was doing with socks. Too thick for socks and too thin for other projects. I wish the weather were cold enough in the winter to at least occasionally wear knits and my beautiful red wool coat but too often I can go out in a t-shirt and shorts as the weather will be in the 60s. Low 60s but still. I do have one knitted cap and mittens that I wore to Yosemite in May. I finally got the one skein I needed to finish a hat I started in 2019 to go with my red wool coat. Not sure if I'll make mittens or not. The socks I will wear. I'm using fingering but I might even go down to lace weight.
