A load of Tosh

Apologies to those with no interest in knitting - of which there has been a lot here lately - but I have another finished object and high praise for both yarn and pattern.

This is the Honey Cowl by Antonia Shankland, made with one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Sock 'Ink' (and again I've put full details on my project page);

this was a joy to knit, and I'm so pleased with the result that I have plans to make more.

Another beauty. You are speeding through the projects. When do you get time to read?

Do have a go - it's not hard!

Glad you like it.

Gorgeous! I shall have to start a honey cowl soon maybe when I finish my hitchhiker.

Posted by: Karoline | 21 August 2014 at 08:24 PM

I want to make a Hitchhiker, though I think it might be another of Martina Behm's patterns I try first (planning ahead ...).

I am quite drawn to the effectiveness of the stitch on this cowl Karen. And that double twist in your 3rd photo looks very smart indeed.
Now that you're an expert at this craft, I'm sure you can manage to knit in conjunction with reading. :)

Ha!

Love this cowl! I have not knitted in a long time, but I downloaded the pattern yesterday and ordered some yarn from Loop - thrilled that it arrived today! I have cast on and am ready to go - thanks again for the inspiration!

Wonderful! Glad to have been of help, Elaine.
