Full-Coverage Cowl....you'll "cowl" into a corner if you can't own one of these.

photo-82Can I please, please, please gush on how absolutely beyond satisfied I am of this extra chunky cowl I recently designed and knitted up?Not only is the brilliant yellow-green color phenomenal in person, it is so g.d. warm. I've warn it a couple of times since I completed it last week, and I have to say I couldn't be warmer. The best part is you can wrap it around your neck a couple of times for added bulk, and while  most cowls are simply decorative, this is merely warmth. Delish.I like that I don't have to fuss with the end of a scarf and try and keep it wrapped. This puppy never shifts out of place and not a single gust of wind gets up under it. I used a mock brioche rib stitch since I am currently too obsessed with this stitch pattern to use anything else...though I think this type of cowl would take to any kind of ribbed stitch.Plus, you can wear this baby a whole bunch of ways.p10108471Case in point?p1010848Last weekend there was a brilliant high tide thanks to the former full moon and while it wasn't nearly cold like it is this week, the sea breeze was a whippersnapper and there wasn't a bit of beach in sight thanks to flowing waters. Some great shots of the cowl were achieved in the wind, with the crazy green sea water in the background. I think these photos will be saved until I get my Etsy up and running and start selling these babies...So unitl then...start thinking about what color you want custom knit because they'll eventually be available in my shop!
