Happy New Year, peoples!
One of my favourite comments about New Years that I've heard so far is about not using it as a chance to dwell on the past year, but to look forward to the next one.
I just finished a super quick, super lovely knit - Honey Cowl out of Madelinetosh Vintage (instead of one of the DK yarns) in Copper Penny. I used two skeins and 5.00mm needles. The result is a slightly narrower, but squooshier cowl. I didn't do a very good job of picking two similar skeins, so I ended up striping them in the middle to transition between them. I haven't gone a day without wearing this since I finished it!
Pattern is available for free through
Madelinetosh. It seems like every one of us at
Urban Yarns has oen of these cowls knit up, and we are all just a little bit nuts about the yarn...
Oh, and I've got the pattern for the baby blanket all ready to go - just waiting on some final corrections and details, and it should be up in a day or two hopefully!
If you wanted to plan ahead, the pattern as written calls for one (and really, it used the whole skein, so beware) skein of Cascade Eco and 6.5mm needles (in your favourite small and large diameter circular configuration - I used magic loop, then regular circular methods).
It's such a beautiful blanket. What would be a good yarn substitute?
