the forgotten cowl

23 Dec

I stitched this up in July, but just took a picture of it yesterday.  It’s malabrigo rasta yarn in natural.  Personally, I blame the weather for  my forgetfullness.  It’s a thick cowl and the weather just hasn’t been cold enough around here for something this cozy.

It’s just knit in the round on with big needles.  After all this time, I don’t remember what size needles I used.  I think maybe 15, I do remember I used the whole skein.

I’m sure it will feel more like winter soon enough, and when it does, I’ll be ready with this new cowl.

I needed something that would keep my neck warm, but wouldn’t be too bulky under my coat.

The super bulky blue sky alpacas has been hiding at the bottom of my stash basket for ages.
