Quick Knits, Instant Gratification

This week has been all about instant gratification. Yes, I'm still working on the christening dress, but I wanted a quick knit. This, the Philly Cowl (available on Ravelry) fit the bill perfectly.




The yarn is Malabrigo (can we say yummmmmm?) on 5.5 mm needles, in other words, a quick knit and a warm, cozy neck warmer.

In an attempt to knit from the stash, I've also cast on for another cowl, the Willow Cowl (also a free download on Ravelry). I know, the colours are rather bright. It's cheerful, though, and goodness knows we could all use a little colour in the dead of winter, right?

  1. I do that too - in the middle of a long project, make something small to get that FO satisfaction. In fact, I'm about to make a Braided Earwarmer (headband) to wear while I'm running - bought the yarn today - hope to have it done in a couple of days.
