The colorful the better

Knitting with handspun is truly an experience. Stitches are not perfect but unique.



This cowl was inspired by the "Totally biased" pattern. Mine does not have purl rows. Handspun is Mixed Bluefaced Leicester.

(edited to correct my "recipe"; thanks greenmtngirl for the note)

I followed this "recipe" until almost all the yarn was used up:

cast on 40 stitches for handspun sport to aran weight
row 1: k1, k1fb, k to last there stitches, k2tog, k1
row 2: k2, p36, k2
three needle bind off


Cast on. Carry on. Have a great weekend.

  4. It is lovely, and I always love to hear about people knitting with handspun!

    I wonder if you forgot a k2tog at the end of the first row of your recipe? It seems as if this version would just expand forever.
