Okay, maybe necessary is an overstatement but it’ll be really nice to have and it’s based on a pattern called The Necessary Cowl! I’m not actually following the pattern, just using it as inspiration…I’m changing the gauge, the stitch and the yarn but it’ll have the same feel. A simple rectangle cowl that’s incredibly wearable!
It’s not much to look at yet but there’s only one reason I knit with black…to compliment orange! This is destined to become the must-have San Francisco Giants accessory of the season! Many moons ago, when the Giants only had one World Series win to their recent credit, I went to Spring Training in Arizona. Naturally, I toured the local yarn shops! This was the souvenir I came home with…
It was the only orange in the shop! (Turns out wool isn’t really a thing in Arizona!?!) It’s Chakra from Mango Moon! It’s a cotton-viscose blend complete with beads and ROCKS?! It’s sat in the stash for so long because what the heck do I do with rocks in my knitting? I’m aiming for fun pop color on the edge! Hopefully I do this fun, unique yarn justice…it’s waited so patiently for me, I’d hate to disappoint! I’ve got until July 27th…the SF Giants Stitch n Pitch game! Fingers crossed!
Ooooo I love it! The cowl is a must for SF games as you never know when the fog and/or wind will roll in. ;)
