Bluebirdsky Cowl

My lovely friend Sue moved to NYC last summer. For Christmas, I made her a cowl to help her stay warm while she is traveling around her new city. I didn't follow a specific pattern but here is the pattern that inspired me to make the cowl Sue is wearing in the above picture.  

Sue also happens to be wearing one of the necklaces she made. She has a rad Etsy shop.   Please check out her necklaces and support a wonderful independent artist!

December Birthday

My Mom's birthday is a couple days before Christmas. This year, one of her presents was handmade by me! Hopefully she'll be able to put this cowl to good use this winter.

Cowl for a kiddo

Last weekend, I made a cowl for the most adorable kid in Monroeville, OH. This project was super easy, I used a circular needed and just did a basic seed stitch and twisted the yarn. I'm so happy the cowl actually fit her!

Big Herringbone Cowl

Over the last couple weeks, I've been trying to make the Big Herringbone Cowl. I really really like this stitch, but it drives me crazy how the edges of the cowl roll up. I think this is going to be great to wear when it really cold outside, which will be perfect for living in Ohio. I also need to thank Meghan for helping me figure out this pattern. Meghan, is a great knitting partner!
