Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I finished this sweater about 2 weeks ago, but with the holiday and traveling, I'm just getting around to blogging about it. This was a pretty quick and enjoyable knit for me. Easy to follow pattern and easy to modify. I'm pretty happy with it and will probably knit another one at some point, maybe in cotton for warmer months.

Cowl is the new scarf

Yeah, I know I'm late to the party, but I'm having a cowl obsession. I've knit 3 in the past few weeks:

Alpaca Cowl
Alpaca cowl in Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky


Noro Cowl
Gloria Cowl in Noro Silk Garden


Birthday Cowl
Birthday Cowl in Malabrigo

I knit each of these in less that a day! Cowls are great for leftover single skeins and fill that need for a quick finished project. I knit these with the intention of giving them away as Christmas gifts, but now I want to keep them for myself. Luckily I have more waiting in my Ravelry queue!
