Blue Embers

Found some Noro Kureyon that I had used to make a poncho and decided to knit a neckwarmer. It took less than 1.5 balls of it to make Burning Embers

Ravelompics Medal number 6

Cowl Finish

Today had a combination of small things ending with three finished objects.

First was this cowl. It's only taken a little over 2 days to finish and it's wonderfully squishy.



It's made from a yarn called Malabrigo, in the Merino Worsted in the Nostalgia colourway visible here

It's quite long so it pools well around my neck

I used the knit 2 stitches, slip stitches back to other needle and knit the two together which produces an interesting effect along the edge which you can see here:

I'm left with about 10g from the 100g skein, which I will find a use for some day.

Neckwarmer for me, Chimera is the name

Buttons around the back and is just beautiful, field testing will happen tomorrow when I go back to work.

Mio Bandido

He asked for a neckwarmer (he rides a motorbike almost daily) and he asked for it to be in rib for warmth, I saw this pattern Darkside Cowl PDF on Ravelry and thought of him

It's easier than it looks, I made it about 10inches long instead of the size on the pattern out of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece bought from This is Knit
