I usually have a little knitting project on the back burner. Having worn to death the eternity cowl I made back in the thick of winter, I decided to try it out in a lighter weight for spring.
The yarn is creative linen from Rowan and I picked the natural colour way. It has knit up much looser than the original, which I like.
In spite of being the 1st of May, and the last month of spring, I am yet to wear it and have still been snuggling up in my yummy alpaca version.
Any ideas for a summery shawl, all you knitters out there?
I have turned the heating back on. I would much rather have a cowl to snuggle in.

but your summer knit is divine btw! xxx
Yes snuggly alpaca has definitely been in order of late! I do hope that we get the weather for you to swap over to your gorgeous linen cowl before too long - we could all do with a dose of proper spring sunshine now.
ReplyDeleteOh, isnt' it beautiful! I'll second what Driftwood said -- Peasoup is the queen of the shawl. It looks like you're all ready for spring!
