Thanks Karen for sharing the link to the lovely snood/cowl you made. I fell in love with it instantly and decided it would be a great first project to attempt. After watching a few videos on KnittingHelp.com I was on my way. My cowl didn’t come out as chunky as the one pictured in the pattern but I am so okay with that. I am still going to rock out with my cowl out.
Yarn used: Debbie Bliss Como, 42m/50g with 12mm needles

Thank you. It was our wedding color. Can’t believe I’m not tired of it yet. If I make another I want it to be an alarming yellow 🙂

It’s so nice to do while sitting on the sofa. I figured it better to do that than waste time playing on my computer, as I often do after dinner. Miss you Dibs! Hope you’re doing well.

I used 2 balls of 50g chunky yarn. I loved the one I used because it has a wee bit of cashmere so it feels really nice against my skin.
I work tomorrow from 4-7. You should stop by. Ray sells yarn in the shop. They are well priced, I think.

Yes! It’s my first knit. I am as proud as a peacock. I will admit that I unraveled it once after I missed a couple of stitches and couldn’t figure out how to fix it. I need to figure that out to save myself from future frustrations.

Hey, hey! I am immensely proud to have inspired a first knitting project – and you’re clearly born to knit. Such great, neat tension. I love the colour, too. Now I want a pink one! I have been wearing mine to death. It’s perfect for indoors when the air con gets a bit too cool, as well as outdoors wear. I bet that wool you used is lovely and soft. Debbie Bliss makes great wool and patterns. Well done! A colleague of mine is also knitting this snood now.

Thanks again for sharing the link. I wouldn’t have found such a great project on my own. It was easy and challenging enough for a first project. I really loved it. I am now considering doing the longer version, maybe in teal.

I have to admit that I unraveled it once due to some missed stitches so I definitely went through some frustrations. But yes, definitely give it a go. I really enjoyed the fluidity of it all, if that makes sense.
