The Somewhat Cowl
Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool
Pattern: Somewhat Cowl, by Knit and Tonic Wendy
Needles: Size 6 Denises, Size 4 Bates Interchangeables
I love my cowl.
Sorry for the huge pics, but I love this sweater, so I got my resident photographer to take some pictures with his new Canon 30D...
At first, I wasn't sure about the collar, but for me, it just took wearing the right shirt underneath. Nothing with a v-neck, just a round or straight across collar, so you're not distracted from the pretty cowl neck.
I used Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool for this project, and I lovelovelove this yarn! It's fun and easy to knit with, and it looks so beautiful when it's knit up. I think it's going to be a good all-season sweater - I can wear it now with a camisole underneath, and still be comfortable when it's a little bit warm. I'm picturing it with a long sleeved t-shirt or maybe even a crisp white collared shirt when it gets colder...
YAY!
You know the pattern: The Somewhat Cowl by the fabulous Wendy of Knit and Tonic. I used the pattern changes for a slightly more fitted sweater, including shaping on the sides. It's not super fitted, but I like the way it hangs. I have plans to make a few more of Wendy's patterns because they are super wearable and extremely well written.
