Cowls, you guys. They're incredible. This project happened for a few reasons:
1. My coat is a bit of an odd color and, seeing that I've now passed a couple winters with it, it seemed appropriate to make some accessories that were a little less clashy / more classy.
2. I was cruisin' Instagram (Have I mentioned how much I love Instagram?) and saw a picture of some chick I don't know wearing a fab cowl. Lightweight yarn that just sorta fell all around her face. I won't lie, I was jealous of her face. And, yes, I am scrutinizing your knitwear, folks. For better or worse. Sorry, not sorry.
3. I recently taught a friend to knit. This was the best idea ever, because now I have another swell pal to sit around knitting and shooting the breeze with. (What does one appropriately shoot the breeze with, you guys? BB gun? Pea shooter? Salad shooter? Inquiring minds.) One such session of lighthearted knit-foolery found my friend knitting a cowl-of-a-different-color. Said friend's brother suggested that the only thing that could make that cowl better was about 4 feet of length. Being hep to the jive, as I am, I saw that he meant to imprison his brother in a knitclad fortress of his own making. Hilarity. Anyway, you don't just let an idea like that pass you by.
Please see below, the resultant cowl/straight jacket. I'm digging it so far. It's really versatile. Not pictured, it's also pretty fun to just pull that puppy up over your head and rock it as a hood. In short, it's long. But, I ain't mad at it!
