I've spent the past year trying to knit through my stash figuring this, of course, justified buying just a bit more yarn. One project bought years ago for a friend I unearthed and zapped up. The Hudson Cowl is a free design by Lion Brand Yarns and done up in their lovely Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in Hudson Bay color.
Emily in the Hudson Cowl
It was such a satisfying knit I was eager to find another person who'd want one; my youngest Maggie volunteered. I quickly picked out a nice variegated blend I thought she'd like called Coney Island. Now I'm more than half done; it is taking a bit longer because she wanted her cowl longer (I cast on 100 stitches) to wrap more easily around her head. I'll probably make it not as wide as the original Hudson Cowl so that I'm still using 2 skeins (I have a third in case). Peaceful, rhythmic knit, my favorite, with 2 rows of knit, then 2 of purl. And sometimes I just love having the ease and speed of a Super Bulky yarn. I found ordering from Joanns I got the greatest selection and you can take advantage of online deals and Joann's Coupons.
My Reading 📚 Lately:
That cowl looks very warm and cozy. It also looks like it's fun to knit.
