My first charitable knitting project is complete! The only cables I have knitted up until this point have been little owl mittens for my sweet niece. After this project -though I feel ready to knit cables of any shape and size- I know my days are too hectic and my brain is too fried to attempt another for sometime (and still enjoy knitting too). So, I have cast of this little number and started a nice garter stitch and ladder stitch scarf for Lee. Ahh…. my brain is resting up for a more complicated pattern, I can feel it.
A grandma somewhere far away who has lost a child and is caring for her grandkids alone will be wearing this cowl someday soon. My group is intending on knitting 100 before the holidays. I wish I could say I would be contributing more than 1!!
Beautiful cowl! Have you ever read the Wednesday Yarn Along posts at Small Things? Lots of inspirational knitting going on there. http://www.gsheller.com
