This Way, That Way Cowl

It’s been unseasonably hot here in Austin, TX lately, which is kind of a bummer when you’re wanting to be in the wintery spirit. I was thrilled this weekend though, when a momentary shiver made it’s way through our city. To take advantage of the chill I knew I had to act fast (our Mother Nature is a fickle lass), so I immediately grabbed some bulky yarn, my Takumi Adjustable Needle set and cast-on for a quickie cowl. I then spent a lovely day watching my arrow motif coming together while feeling the wool slide off the warm, bamboo needles. My finished project is one that I’m sharing with you today: a simple, graphic neck warmer that’s totally DIY-able (and giftable) for this holiday season…and beyond.

For those who live in colder climates: I wish you many, cozy days in the This Way, That Way Cowl. For the rest of us, let’s just have fun with the process of working with great tools, and having a cool piece to at least, stare at longingly.
