Yarn + Make = Love
Last December I posted the machine knit version of this cowl (find it here). I have worn the solid grey so much so I thought I would make another one, and this time with some color.
Instead of doing it on the machine I did it by hand. I had some several trips with decent travel time so it was a great project to work on instead of socks. It is small and easy enough to manage through car trips, airport delays, and the plane flight without being too bulky and cumbersome to carry.

As a knitter and crocheter I am always trying to think of ways to wear what I make during the spring and fall. Something that adds just a little bit of warmth, but not bulky or too heavy for just slightly cool weather. For this project I began with the fiber and yarn choice. I chose a yarn that is one hundred percent cotton so that it would be of natural fibers but not have the warmth of wool. The one I use is from Cindy’s Knitting Room in Minnesota and is three strands of 2/16 weight cone yarn. You can order it with any combination of colors that you would like. The one I used is all of the same gray color, my favorite color. With the color and stitch definition that this yarn gives on a standard knitting machine I thought cables would be a nice design feature. Plus, I love the traditional appearance that cables give, and they can give a little bit of structure to knits which sometimes can look a bit soft. Not to mention, cables are everywhere right now, along with fair isle yoke sweaters.
