Rabbit Hole

I cast off another Traveler Cowl this afternoon. 

I knit this one in Dyed in the Wool Rabbit Hole. I’m a bit obsessed with this colour. The cowl is beautiful and I can’t wait to wear it. 

The cowl takes three skeins and I knit it on 3.75mm needles. Alex will block it and sew the back seam after Christmas for me.

Romi Hill has a new pattern called Winter’s Finery. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

The pinyon pine forest wears a cloak of white in the winter, with icy tendrils trailing after the pogonip. The Winter’s Finery shawlette echoes the beauty of a snow flurry amongst the evergreen branches, with an edge decorated for the solstice. 

It’s a satisfyingly simple pattern, and a great introduction to lace. The top uses a T increase to present a beautiful smooth triangle, and the lace charts (with written instructions also included) are straightforward. The edging is finished up with an Icelandic bind-off that leaves a sturdy edge, and yarn scraps are used for the wee decorations along the bottom. It’s perfect for every day, or for special occasions.

The shawl is knit with one skein of fingering weight yarn. 

After work Beth and I visited our new house. We had some questions for the owners who helped us with everything. I’m very excited and wish we were moving in January.
