I wasn’t sure I’d like it, honestly. Pattern: The Good Luck Cowl Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug, Color 118 Time Elapsed: Under a week Notes/Modifications: I knit this pattern exactly as written. It is my first cowl, and I was more than dubious about how useful it would be, but one hank…

My yarn is pressuring me!

We value your input

December 11, 2008 by Amy

Hi! Can we just pretend that it hasn’t been nearly a month since I last posted? That my knitting time hasn’t actually been eaten up by two adorable, variably-drooly little boys? Because I need your advice. The knitting on tomten is finally finished, and it just needs a zipper to…
