I just finished this cowl and I don’t want to take it off, ever. It’s delicious!
I’ve named it Meander, because the zigazagging lace and cables do a nice walkabout, and the accent color meanders through the whole thing even more. The lace makes it airy enough that it’s not too warm, and it looks pretty, too.
I knit this with a new to me yarn from Delicious Yarns. The premise is pretty fun: Lots of fiber, no calories, delicious! This is the sport weight version of Two Sweets (2 color accents); the colorway is Chocolate Mix 3. I wish I had thought to take a picture of it before winding, but I wound it before going to Hawaii as “just in case” knitting. I didn’t know what it wanted to be yet, and didn’t get to it until this week.
Here’s a skein of of their fingering weight yarn in Sprinkles (Superwash Merino with little pops of color on a natural background). I bought it to coordinate with the sport weight, thinking that my yarn at home was fingering, but it’s not. So I’ll either return it or save it for another day. The sport weight has spoken, and spoken well indeed. This is a loop cowl, 52 inches long, blocked. Pattern coming soon; it’s at the tech editor now. It would be nice in a semisolid color, too, but the meandering of the accent color adds a bit of fun.
First time I’ve ever used the pano feature of my iPad to photograph knitting, but I couldn’t fit the whole thing in any other way!
Does your yarn tell you what it wants to be? Or is it less bossy than mine? I’ve had this yarn since June, and it finally spoke up!
