Cowl crazy

Cowls are trendy! Oatmeal new wool cowl in an old shale lace pattern and cream alpaca cowl in stockinette and garter.  The oatmeal cowl was knit flat, then joined; the alpaca cowl was knit in the round. Here are two knitted cowls and one extra-long crocheted cowl for winter. I love that I don't have to worry about arranging dangling scarf ends -- yay, cowls! Crocheted flat with sock yarns, I had initially added a fringe intending this to be a scarf, but when I saw how beautifully it draped, I decided to join it in a loop and make a big cowl.

Garter and stockinette cap knit in the round, on the bus last month on a trip to Nanaimo and back. It also doubles as a basket lid or tea-cosy.  Kwan Yin approves. ;)
