Cowl Break

Because I am working on my baby sweater my Burberry Inspired Cowl has been put on hold. Here is a picture of it in its pumpkin colored glory. Isn't this the most beautiful color?? I made a friend a hat with the same colored yarn and wanted to make myself something, hence the cowl, and I have three four more hanks in my not-so-secret stash because I love it so so much. It reminds me of fall and stomping through crunchy leaves and butternut squash soup and Halloween.





It's looking pretty good so far. I am a tiny bit worried about the provisional cast on (what if the crochet chain doesn't unravel!?) because I haven't used that method before but am much more comfortable with kitchener's stitch after working on the armpits of my stripey sweater.

Updated: I meant to say that I uploaded this entry for WIP Wednesday - check out the other posts, people are working on some fabulous things out there!

  2. I used to fear the provisional as well...but it really does come off fairly easily. Best of luck!

  3. Did you do the cast on with scrap yarn? If so, it's easy enough to pick up the stitches, even if you have to cut the scrap yarn out. I had the darndest time with them until I saw a really good online tutorial about how you must knit into the back bumps of the chain stitch. And that's the trick!

  4. I got my first two skeins at Stitch DC, my LYS, and ordered the rest online as the store was out. It is Cascade Superwash and I believe the colorway is Pumpkin.

    Re: the cast on- it is with scrap yarn- I am hoping I got the stitches on through back bumps only but I feel better knowing that the scrap yarn can be cut out of there!
