This is beautiful. The recipient of this ( completed project) will faint!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful pattern! I made it in one day and lots of people are getting one for Christmas! Thanks, again.
Can’t wait to start on your pattern. Healing from a broken arm so I am very limited on how long I can knit. For one who use to knit 8 hrs. at least, per day (I am retired) this is driving me nuts. My husband jokingly says I am already there so not far to drive ha! ha!
It is Autumn 2018 and this cowl has caught my eye. With birthdays and Christmas in that order, I could make a small number. I assume the above can be knitted on thicker needles, 6 – 7 mm using appropriate yarn Aran – Chunky which is much quicker than DK. Before starting, sums are not my strong point. Is there anything you would warn a knitter comfortable with acrylic and other blends about first? Please.
Casein needles are said to be best for poorly hands but they are so difficult to get hold, perhaps their medicinal use is not well advertised.
