Wednesdays Are For Knitting: Leaving Cowl

January 20, 2016 By Carole

Back in November I signed up for a mystery knit for a cowl and, as it turned out, I didn’t care for the pattern. I had purchased some pretty yarn, though, and I was committed to making a cowl and just needed to find a different pattern. The Leaving Cowl was the perfect choice.

The pattern is free and well written. It’s easy to follow and the simple leaf pattern knits up quickly.

The yarn is Cascade Yarns Venezia Sport in a beautiful shade of red called Ruby.

It’s soft and drape-y and made a lovely birthday present for Doreen.

She told me on Friday that she has worn it every day since I gave it to her back in December. A knitter can’t ask for more than that.

    It’s beautiful and I love the color!! I have to admit that the cowl design of the KAL that I am working on has been deeply modified because I know Hannah would not love it and it is for her. The benefits of being way behind on a KAL. LOL.

    I bet that color looks fabulous on Doreen!

    So pretty! I bet it looks fantastic on Doreen with her dark hair 🙂

    Doreen is most certainly knit-worthy! Cascade is great. And a simple free pattern makes me smile!

    What a lovely cowl! I always wonder how non-knitters manage in winter, and I guess the lucky ones do it by having knitting friends. Lucky Doreen!

    Beautifully knit! Thank you for the pattern link, which I have put in my Ravelry library. Did you see that there are matching cuffs, also a free pattern?

    That’s a really nice pattern! And the color is pretty special too. Nice job Carole and lucky Doreen!

    That red is to die for! There’s nothing better than having something you’ve knitted worn….a lot!

    Really pretty cowl! the color and the pattern. And since I love leaves – I’m off to print it off! I’ve used the Venezia Worsted before – but never sportweight…
    It is nice yarn….

    Oooh, that’s pretty — what a gorgeous color! I love leaf motifs.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
