Hello, friends! I'm joining with Kat today to talk about my knitting and reading. My…
Three Seas Cowl
Cowls are all the rage, it seems. I knit this one back in July. I had almost forgotten all about it but when the cold weather rolled around Dale remembered – because he wanted to wear it.
The pattern is the Three Seas Cowl from A Fistful of Stitches. The yarn is my handspun. It’s Icelandic lamb from Frelsi Farm bought at Rhinebeck back in 2007, I think.
It’s pretty soft, being a lamb, and it’s very very warm. Perfect to wear while shoveling snow.
Or just standing around looking handsome.

It really suits him! He looks especially dapper with the hat!
Oh, very nice, and he gets extra points for remembering that you had made it AND wanting to wear it!
That’s a great looking cowl, and he does indeed look handsome wearing it. Perhaps that last pic should have been saved for Eye Candy Friday. 😉 Kid, I kid!
He does look handsome in it (the hat adds a rakish touch), and luckily (?) there is plenty of snow that needs shoveling ….
It’s a great way to knit with handspun and it looks so cozy! I knit Smith a cowl this weekend but it’s not as long or big. He’ll think he got shortshrift!
That is a splendid cowl. It looks so warm and cozy!
Hmm, one would almost think you’d knitted it just for him. 🙂
It’s perfect. He looks like he should be on an Australian movie set!
Dashing and Rugged I would say, the cowl looks perfectly suited to him. It’s so warm here almost like summer, I could have actually worn shorts yesterday instead of pedal pushers. (I posted a few more photos from the Huntington Library, such a gorgeous place), oh and I added your blog to my favorite list, hope you don’t mind.
Very handsome indeed! Hubby asked for one after seeing all the Christmas presents I made of them. Of course, he asked if his could be “plain” and “man-ish”!
I love the cables!!
Looks very warm! Love the design and the fiber!
Husbands are popping up in blogland lately – see Moth Heaven, too.
Looks so cozy!
I like the folks at Frelsi – good people – and now both Dale and Tuck have something from their fiber. Love the cowl. I’ve been trying to think of something to make from some qiviut I’ve got, and I think that might be just the thing.
It’s perfect with the hat. Love it!
It’s perfect with his hat and it looks very warm.
I love it. I think its time to knit some cowls. you go girl!!
Both the cowl and the model are very handsome indeed!
Nice cowl, but I really like the photos. Lovely Dale portraits.
Excellent cowl. It looks great on Dale.
What a great cowl, and your photos are awesome! Dale looks great modeling this.
Wonderful manly cowl, looks great on him with the hat.
That looks great!
Very nice, Carole! Love your photos, too.
You have the BEST looking models on the interwebs!! That cowl was made just for Dale!
is it still Eye Candy day? great fotos! makes me want to run out and get the yarn to start one, but there is alpaca in the stash…
Standing around looking handsome is a pretty good hobby to have. The cowl is doing a fine job of it too.
A man cowl! Would that also be a Mowl? He looks great in it, the heathery-ness of the colors are gorgeous.
Isn’t he fabulous?! So manly and outdoorsy.
Oh, yes, and the cowl is nice, too. xo
You should rent out your model. He’s just perfect for this job!
Grant looks much handsomer to me when he’s shoveling snow.
Very nice work! Is it reversible? Yeah, yeah, I know, look it up.
I hope cowls are the rage next Christmas – I have started knitting some for gifts already. Thanks for sharing the photos – Dale looks ever so warm & not dealing with the scraf that keeps falling off while shoveleing is a bonus!
How lovely to be cuddled by your handspun.
And Dale IS eye-candy Friday!
Very nice cowl. There are the rage – and have about three different patterns I want to knit…
And, Dale does look very handsome wearing it and the great hat! Love the hat!
Awesome. I need something like that today. It is COLD here! I can’t wait for spring *sigh*.
Hmmmmm My big kid, I mean husband has been playing hockey on the pond out back and he was asking if I could make some sort of liner to go under his hockey helmet so his ears didn’t freeze…maybe a cowl would serve that purpose too. Seems like it covers Dale’s ears pretty good.
Fantastic photos! He looks great in the cowl too!
That last picture is really awesome! As for cowls, you know my position 🙂 That said, Dale is always dashing.
Carole, weirdest thing. I can never see your pictures until a day or so later. I can see the type, but just little question marks where the pictures should be. Has anyone else mentioned this, or is it unique to my Macintosh computer? Love your blog.
Both are very handsome!
Ooo La La! And the cowl ain’t bad either!
Your Sherpa Dude looks awesome in his cowl! Yes it does suit him!
Whew! I’ve got to show Chris those pictures. With the cold weather, he’s taken to wearing ski caps, indoors and out. I loved it wen he’d wear his hat. I’d make him a cowl just like Dale’s. Great pics!
Wait, that’s Dale? I thought it was the Marlboro Man. 😀
Beautiful cowl and photo! I’ve been wondering, what camera do you shoot with? I am in the market for a grown-up camera and am curious about yours!!
I agree with claudia. Like the cowl, but the Dale shots are great! The hat adds a nice touch!
Nice photos! A cowl would be perfect for working outside – no ends flying around and coming undone like on a scarf.
Love the cowl! And the model looks like he’s loving it too. Great pics.
That Dale’s no dummy! He knows a good thing when he sees it!
Dale is going to be impossible to live with after he signs up with the modeling agency.
