remember way back in december when i said i had hit the mother lode at the blue moon fiber arts sale? well, whatever!this is project #1 from my haul. it is an unspecified amount of blue moon fiber arts leticia in a no name color (my guess is something in the raven clan). it is a warm and cozy cowl that was sooooooooooooo easy!
and, ta da, here's how i did it:
68 is great!
needles: 10.5 us
yarn: bmf leticia
CO 68 stitches. join to knit in round. place marker to establish beginning of round.
row 1: k1, p1, repeat to end of row.
row 2: p1, k1, repeat to end of row. (in other words: purl the knits and knit the purls - a simple seed stitch.)
continue knitting these two rows until you have just enough yarn left to cast off. (how did i determine this amount? all i can say is: dumb luck!! i am sure that there is some mathematical wizardry that would allow one to determine this but math has never been my forte so i just punted and everything seemed to work! at this point, i must have pretty good karma!)
BO in pattern.
weave in ends and wear!
my cowl turned out to be 6 inches tall and about 20 inches in circumference and took about two hours to knit. not bad for a morning's work! it's a keeper in my book! and the yarn was only six bucks! can't beat that with a stick!! yippee!
