Slipping Away Cowl

I love linen stitch. And half linen stitch. And all the little variations on linen stitch. I do not always love, however, dealing with two or three balls of yarn whose only goal in life is to get tangled. This cowl is the result of that + the desire for an easy take-along project + 2 balls of Artful Yarns Reality.The yarn changes color slowly, but enough that the linen stitch stands out.
Looks, my nails match! Total coincidence..
My finished product is 10" tall, but slouches nicely on. And now, the pattern:


2 balls Artful Yarns Reality
Size 11 20 inch Circular needles
1 stitch marker

Cast on 75 stitches
Place Marker and join for knitting in the round.

Pattern stitch: (Knit 1, bring yarn forward and slip 1, take yarn back)

Working in Pattern Stitch until cowl is 10 inches or desired length

Bind off loosely.

Note: The marker at the beginning to the round is really just there to help you know when you bind off. The odd number of stitches means every other round starts with a knit and every other starts with a slipped stitch. If you just keep working in the pattern stitch as if there marker isn't there then you really don't need to think about the rounds, you just keep going.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
