My first cable knit project!

This was a knit-a-long project hosted by Wolseley Wool as a lead up to the Manitoba Fibre Festival. The pattern is called the 1/4 lb Cowl and it was pretty straight-forward once I had some initial help on reading the graph (I learned on this project that I need written instructions!).

I decided to use up some yarn that was already in my stash for this one. I used Malibrigo Merino Worsted in Velvet Grapes. It feels so nice and soft!

It’s been done for a few weeks now but has been waiting for the perfect buttons.

I found these at a quaint little knitting store just outside of St. Louis. I knew right away they would be perfect to finish off this cowl.

Bring on the cooler weather now, I say!!
