Here is a very bad photo of a wonderful cowl thingie that I knit. I bought a kit for this at Rhinebeck – it is knit with Lamb’s Pride and has an angora trim. With the temperatures we have been having, the writing is on the wall and I anticipate that it will be well used this winter.
The cowl is knit with a rib stitch in the round. I did notice that my stitches were a bit skewed — the left leg of the stitch seemed more pronounced than the right. I have certainly knit in the round before and have never had this happen. At first, I kept ripping and trying to fix this problem… but then decided to just ‘let it go’ and knit the damn thing. Another blogger (wish I could remember who) had a great line — The gods are jealous of perfection and will seek revenge on those who achieve it. This became my mantra.
Lamb’s pride is a mix of wool and mohair and seems to have very little spin – I wonder if my crooked stitch definition had something to do with that. Be that as it may, I am in love with Lamb’s Pride – it is scrumptious – so soft and luxurious! I am on the lookout for some patterns — any suggestions?
