Chunky Cable Knit Cowl

[justaphage]

 We had what will probably be our only Snow Day last week and I finished the cowl I started for the holiday break back in December.



I found the pattern here. It wasn't the worst choice for learning cables; the pattern is easy to understand and it is worked flat and sewn together. I did talk briefly about my early struggles in a post to my own journal, but on the whole I am very happy and cozy with it.

In other knitting news, I am about 75% of the way through my first pair of socks! For my next project I am hoping to combine with another passion (tea) and make a tea cosy for our pot. I really prefer knitting in the round so I am staking out some nice wooly yarn so I can learn steeking. Finally, I think I have figured out Ravelry, so if anyone would like to interact with me there, I have the same username.

Very nice!

I have made a couple of pairs of socks, but I haven't attempted cable stitch yet.

Nice job! I added you on Ravelry. Same username here, as well.

What a cozy looking cowl! The giant cables are so interesting to look at, and a bold choice for your first cable project, I'm impressed.

I love it - looks so cozy!!!

I love it! It must be so warm.

I have similar pattern queued (scarves, at least one hat) but the largest cables I've done were only 3 stitches each. Are these big ones hard? Because we're just going into autumn here and I wouldn't mind something seriously warm like that.

I love giant cables like that! Looks cozy and beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm working on a baby blanket in chunky yarn with big cables and I hope it turns out as lovely as this!
