Um, yeah, I bought yarn. Specifically Fleece Artist Seconds. For... cheap.
I bought four skeins of the basic merino sock in assorted colourways...
Which are now hanging out on my windowsill being 'inspiration' (they are so pretty). They are all oversized seconds, so I might get a pair out of these myself, and I may or may not play with some designy ideas. Maybe.
I also got two skeins of Fleece Artist Seawool seconds in some cozy brown colour. I decided I needed a man-cowl (ravelry link). I do not yet know if I can pull it off, but it is commmmm-fy.
(I just came out of the shower, hence the hair)
It was super simple, but would anyone like to see a little pattern written up?
Until next time, lovely people! I think it might be time for some non-yarn pictures, too, but we shall see.

Love the man-cowl, I totally think you can pull it off. I think I need to make me one. Pattern please!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! I'd also totally love to see a pattern. And what knitting time you lack, I think I make up for. Damn I want an actual job :(

I love the man cowl too, if only my boyfriend would wear one.... But I totally could go for one!
ReplyDeletecowl pattern.. yesplease.
ReplyDeletealso, you can totally pull of the man-cowl look, espcially with beard.
You can deffinatley pull off the cowl look - great colour for you.
ReplyDeleteLove the fleece artist sock yarn - I've never tried it, not sure if you can buy it in the UK - I'm going to hunt for it now though! Ta for the inspiration.
the man cowl is awesome.
ReplyDeletewho says ladies should have all the fun?
The colors are awesome...where'd you get it? I bought mine from little knits. I haven't used it yet b/c I'm afraid to destroy the investment...it does look oh so pretty hanging out in the livingroom, though:)
ReplyDeletea very manly cowl indeed
