Time is a baffling thing. Steady and predictable in theory, but variable and erratic in practice. The more you chase it; the more it hides. The more you want it; the more it eludes you.

The slipped stitch lines of this cowl are evocative of hourglasses, with a thread of sand flowing through their center. You may notice the minutes fly by while you’re knitting it. Chronos, the greek god of time, would hopefully approve.
