Carefree Cowl Knit Along - The Carefree Cowl Tutorial! this is a bit of a fun post for me today! i did something i've never done before. i wrote out a little knitting pattern. now...first off, i am by no means a knitting designer. i simply just couldn't find what i was looking for on ravelry after hours of hunting. i had a skein of the yarn i used for the gap-tastic cowl left over and was dying to whip up another cowl with it. i wanted something warm, not too long (take flight off the girls..wink wink), but not too short (needed to cover my v-neck top openings) and i wanted texture but a quick knit. i was also looking for something that had a bit of drape but was also sturdy enough to stand up on it's own. i sketched out the illustration beside the pattern below and voila, the carefree cowl was born! i love it and it's rolly polly goodness. my newest cowl was made for our carefree cowl knitalong.

I've decided to take full advantage of this by catching up on things I'd let slide...this dusty blog being one of them.
