Andrea is back

Andrea Mowry has a new pattern. You can purchase the pattern for the DRK Everyday Cowl on Ravelry.

I love having patterns that I can return to time and again. Those special designs that work as a blank canvas so that you can add your own special touches - handspun yarn, stripes, fading, using up odds and ends to create ever-changing, unique knits. A pattern you can relax into as you knit it again and again. For me - that is the DRK Everyday Cowl, with its soothing garter stitch and polished slip stitches and I-cord edges. I’ve already knit 5 myself, and have no plans of stopping anytime soon! 

This cowl is knit flat, on the bias, and seamed at the back neck to create a cowl that wears like a triangle shawl (with none of the fuss!) This pattern includes sizes for the whole family! 

BONUS 
As mentioned above, I’ve knit quite a few of these - including a couple faded versions. I thought it would be fun to include my fading notes, as a fun bonus for you in the pattern itself! I created my fades by diving into my stash for fingering weight yarn that I held double for a marled fade! You can check out my project page here!

For this cowl I chose a DK weight yarn, as that tends to be a common yarn weight we have kicking around in our stash, but also because we can hold 2 strands of fingering weight yarn to easily achieve the same weight!

I started my day packing orders but Mr. UPS didn’t arrive. I’ll get the box tomorrow. 

There are 2 colours of Dyed in the Wool in the box - Rosy Maple and Shades of Earth.

I ran quite a few errands today but there are more to do on Monday. I didn’t get money or meds. Those are the two most important things.

Now a bit of knitting and early to bed. There are lots of boxes to pack in the morning. Thanks to everyone who read the newsletter. Didn’t receive the newsletter? That means you don’t have a store account that accepts marketing. Please email me and I can get it set up for you.
