I can’t get enough of cowls, for knitting and wearing. Cowls are a great way to try new stitches and/or yarn without a big investment. They are also perfect for carry along knitting and make wonderful gifts!
I also have at least one cowl on my needles. Here is a newly finished one knit in one skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock. A simple lace pattern and Garter Stitch on larger needles work up prettily in this self striping yarn.
