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 I have just published my next animal sock pattern. I wanted to get it out before the crazy summer schedule starts. My summer is filling up fast, how about yours? I'll be helping at 2 camps this year, and spending lots of time with family. Were you hoping the next pattern would be the Dinos? I hope so. These are so fun. I debated with myself for awhile on what colors to choose. I went with dark green and magenta. It gave me a lot of 90's kids nostalgia feelings. I have already worn...
Reader I have a new pattern to share with you today. Say hello to the Bee Bold Socks. I had this Thought: What if I used my animal hat charts to make socks? I went for it and I'm so glad that I did. I have already secretly made the fish, and dino socks with only the butterflies to go, and they are all soo cute. I've always been unsure of stranded knitted socks, because I worried that they would not have a lot of stretch, but I used some tricks throughout the pattern to keep them stretchy....
