What was I thinking when I ordered the Kauni for the mitered cross blanket a few years ago? Maybe I had planned to double it? SHEESSH. Who knows? Blanket. Check. Pine bough cowl (one of the favorite things I've ever knit). Check. And now...a simple linen stitch cowl...
not as thick and heavy as the Pine Bough, which is knit as a tube...double thickness, then since it's fair isle stranding...makes it a quadruple-thickness, wooly-wool cowl around the neck. Warm. Actually----WARM! (just what we need this year....we're looking at another week with temps over 70 degrees...and they deny global warming...right.)
The linen stitch cowl is a nice weight. But, enough is enough with the Kauni yarn for a while.
although Freddy is lobbying for a doggy bed, I think.
And then, there is the linen stitch...
I only finished up this cowl because it was started, it was going to be a quick 'tick' in the FO column, and because I was 'in the groove'...
Peppered stripe wrap is finally finished...
all 8+ feet of it...all linen stitch, (which I think equates to roughly 6.5 miles of stockinette or 4.75 miles of garter stitch).
I'm done with linen stitch (for a while). I'm done with Kauni (for a while).
Now what? I really don't know. 70 degree weather leaves me rather uninspired. What's on YOUR needles? I'm in a rather 'magpie' mood...looking for that next shiny thing. Tempt me. Please.
Until then....back to the mystery socks. You can't see them. They are a mystery, right?
