Setting up a new blog, we are looking forward to our trip to Iceland! Leaving the end of this month, the plan is to celebrate Jim's birthday in Reykjavik when we land.
The weather is supposed to be highs of 40s-50s, scarves and hats recommended as part of the layering wardrobe for variable days. Yikes! We have no scarves! And so...I embarked on knitting them.
Voila! Jim's scarf is a cotton/wool yarn blend with reversible cables. No frills, manly for sure.
For me, wanted something that used a lighter-weight yarn, that could be worn on my head instead of a hat, or around my neck. Using a favorite yarn that blends wool/silk/bamboo, started on a journey to make a long cowl (that's a scarf that forms a circle). But using someone else's pattern wasn't quite what I wanted...reversible...lofty but light...so I ended up designing one. After knitting, ripping, reknitting, cutting (really, I had to cut off some stitches that did not work out), reknitting...I have IT! And I've written it the Knitting Pattern called
Got No Wrong Side Cowl, available on Ravelry.
Can hardly wait to get to use these!
