Even though my life for the last 8 weeks has primarily been dominated by school, I’ve still been able to squeeze some much needed crochet time into my daily routine. I normally manage to do 10 – 15 mins during my lunch break which helps me to relax in the middle of the day. I’ve used this time to make up 2 more cowls. I made another Calm Cowl, this time using stylecraft special dk for the middle (I think the shade was plum) and edging it with Adriafil Knitcol (shade Dali).
I loved how it turned out, and gave it to a friend for her birthday.
I was also inspired by Tamara to make a Granny-style cowl. Tamara really is the nicest lady – when I admired the cowl and asked what pattern she used she searched it out and emailed it to me. Thank you again Tamara! The pattern can be found here. I ended up adapting it and made it much more like a granny pattern, but with 4 stitches in each gap and no chains between each cluster.
I love the colours in this yarn – they remind me of sweeties! This is yet another James C. Brett yarn, this time Passion Chunky, shade 3.
I really love it, but now deciding what to do with it – there are only so many cowls I can use at one time!
Lovely yarns you have used. So pretty.
I’m really pleased with my yarn choices too!
Very pretty Laura and I love how you made the granny stitcht cowl out of variegated yarn. I think you are a very nice lady too. Love and Hugs, Tamara
I love the variegated yarn too – it means I don’t keep having to change yarns! And I like that the colours go for quite a long way before changing too. 🙂
Such lovely cowls. The simple stitches look so much more special with the yarns you’ve chosen.
I think simple stitches work best with variegated yarn – they give centre stage to the lovely colours!
Love both of those cowls!! Excellent job and thanks for sharing!
I was really pleased with how they turned out 🙂
I’ve been looking around for cowl patterns. These both look lovely.
They’re both pretty easy and make lovely cowls!
Your cowls are sooooo stunning and you seem to have a way with colours I WANT I WANT!! from one fellow starter to the other. PS, fantastic model!!!
Aw, you’re making me blush! She’s a great model, never wriggles at the wrong time or anything!
