What is the difference between an infinity scarf and a cowl? I'm not really sure. I'm calling this one my Seed Stitch Cowl. It didn't start off as a cowl. Last winter I wanted to start knitting again, so on one of my trips to Joan's I bought a few sequins of Lion Brand yarn and some bamboo knitting needles. With no pattern in mind I cast off what I thought was going to be a simple scarf maybe with some pompoms on each end and I started knitting and knitting; mostly while watching TV. Knitting is just so relaxing. However, as the scarf started to grow I began to have doubts about the scarf plan I had initially planned. So I decided to take a break until I figured out what to do with it. Well that break was about three or four months (crazy how time files). Anyway, I decided to finally finish it and make it into a cowl/infinity scarf by joining the ends together. I used a crochet hook to join the ends and the seam is hardly noticeable.
I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I love the yarn and how the color changes depending on the background and lighting. I think I'm ready for winter with my new cowl and maybe to start a new knitting project.
By the way, Mr. Weekend Doings was the photographer for the photo of me modeling the cowl. I think he is a natural with the camera, don't you agree?
Have a wonderful week!

Your cowl has turned out beautifully Martha, I love the autumnal colours of the yarn.

ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely cowl! I love the colors. I really want to make one of these, I just never seem to get around to doing it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Your photos really show how the yarn is variable in different lights, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth. It is a very interesting yarn with all the color variations and very easy to work with.
DeleteSo nice colors of your new cowl! Hm, I don´t know the difference between the scarf and the cowl too :) But I love to have something warm around my neck during these cold days. So, the scarf or the cowl... it should be warm, soft and nicely colorful :) Your new accessory meets these requirements! :) Have a great weekend!
