a cowl : an experiment in knitting
I really fanced the idea of making myself a cowl, the idea is just so obvious, a loop of knitting that you wear as a scarf with no dangly ends. I looked at a few patterns but then decided that I would just have a go and make one up, as I went along. It's knitted on a circular needle, so there are no seams at the end. I wore it today and I loved it, and no one even gave me an odd look!
