I love the internet. At the end of August, Andi, Iz and I got into a discussion (via Twitter) about knitting for other knitters. It came out that we had all either a. Never knit something for another knitter; or b. Never received anything knit by another knitter. We all tended to knit for ourselves or other non-knitters!
The cowl Izabelle made for me. Detail shots here.
And with that, a swap was born. We decided to knit cowls for each other, and Izabelle knit me this beautiful, teal, cabled cowl. I'm excited, because the temperature has finally started to drop so I can wear it!
Here's what I made for Andi:
Here's what I made for Andi:
It's completely reversible, being double-knit, and knit from (surprisingly lovely) Sheepish Yarn on size 11 needles.
And yes, I'm working on the pattern. I just need to make up the triangle chart, so it should be available at the beginning of November!
Ps. Look at what Andi made for Iz, too!
I love that triangle cowl. love love love!
