Frame Your Face

Andrea Mowry released a new pattern today. This is the Frame Your Face Cowl (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

After creating the colorwork motif for the Framed Sweater, you know I had to keep playing with it! This cowl is so fun to knit and so easy to wear. You can knit it up in either Worsted or Sport weight yarn and then just pull it over your head to stay cozy with effortless style! It is knit in a tube in the round, twisted a half turn, and then seamed together using the Mattress stitch method.

You can knit the cowl in sports weight or worsted weight yarn. Here are some yarn suggestions.

Sports weight

• Dyed in the Wool
• Malabrigo Arroyo
• Madelinetosh Woolcycle Sport
• Juniper Moon Patagonia
• Zauberball Starke 6
• Rowan Felted Tweed

Worsted weight

• Dream State
• Malabrigo Rios
• Cascade 220 Superwash Merino
• Cascade 220 and Cascade 220 Heathers
• Biches & Buches Le Lambswool
• Madelinetosh Vintage
• Noro Ito

Beth and I were up early and started cleaning the cottage. The weather forecast was hot, humid and possible thunder storms. Jackson doesn’t do well in the heat. Part Bernese Mountain Dog and Part Saint Bernard. Too big. Too much hair. He likes it cool. We were on the road early and home just after 12. Unfortunately I forgot my store keys at home so I had to go there before coming to the store. I just missed Mr. UPS with the new Spincycle colours. 😂. It was probably a good thing because I will want to knit the new cowl. 

There wasn’t a lot of knitting at the cottage. I don’t know what I did but I was busy. I might finish the short row shaping on the back neck of Framed tonight.

Sticks are the best thing in the world. And the bigger the better.

If I miss a post or two this week don’t worry. I am busy trying to get all the new Rowan online for the launch on September 1st. There is a lot to add. I also have the new Opal to add which should be coming next week. 

Stay cool!
