I finally finished the cowl I had started last winter with some yarn the BF got me for Valentine’s Day. My idea was to have something to keep my neck warm while riding my bike in cold weather, but a scarf seemed too dangerous because it could fly off or get stuck in the wheels. [...]
I finally finished this cowl. This was my first cowl and I don’t know why I didn’t make these sooner. They have the advantage of keeping you warm like a scarf, but also has the advantage of not falling off or getting in the way. The stitch pattern I used is from here (pdf). The [...]
