Just Because Cowl

I wanted to knit a cowl. I wanted to use up some old boucle yarn. I didn't want it to take forever. Hence the Just Because Cowl was born.

Yarn: Any art yarn or boucle. I used Bernat Soft Boucle, about 1/2-2/3 of the large skein

Needles: Size 17 circs

Guage: not really important but I got 6 stitches and 15 rows = 4 inches in stockinette

CO 100 stitches and join in the round

Rounds 1-3: Knit

Round 4: (K1, YO, K2tog) around

Round 5: Knit

Round 6: Purl

Round 7: Knit

Round 8: (YO, K2tog) around

Round 9-20: Knit

Round 21: (YO, K2tog) around

Round 22: Knit

Round 23: Purl

Round 24: Knit

Round 25: (k1, YO, K2tog) around

Rounds 26-28: Knit

Bind off all stitches loosely and weave in ends.

My cowl ended up 9 inches wide and long enough to wrap up to 3 times comfortably.

Happy Knitting!!

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. ...

Which Would You Pick??

Straw Hat 60's Straw Hat Floppy I think I want one of these, but which one do I want? HELP ME!!!

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday! I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. 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!
