Unswerving Cowl: A New Knitting Pattern
Reader
I have a new knitting pattern. It's called Unswerving Cowl. I actually finished this design back in May and decided to wait until fall to share it. After I made the Just a Posy Cowl and everyone loved it so much I wanted to make another version that would look great on everyone.
I used Knit Picks Palette yarn this time. It is such a durable yarn. I have some makes with this yarn that are close to 5 years old and they have just gotten softer and better with age. Any fingering weight yarn will work with this pattern, so the options are endless, but I absolutely love how these colors came together.
My 7 year old took this picture. Didn't she do such a great job? If you notice there is a matching hat, and it will be coming next month. There is enough yarn left-over from the cowl to make the hat.
Where to Find the Pattern
You can purchase the cowl pattern from my Ravelry shop or Etsy Shop. On Ravelry I have my usual reduced price for the first week. I took so long getting this email out I'll keep the sale up a little longer.

Reader My summer came to an end this week with the start of school for my girls. My summer was jam packed with camp, summer school and visiting family and friends. We were really blessed with some great weather, and my garden has really been showing off, especially the last few weeks. Just check out those blooms. And in the middle of it all my newest pattern to share with you. It has been so fun watching the butterflies come by. I have also seen lots of humming birds, humming bird moths, and...
