One Last New Thing

 

Every year at Camp Loopy if you complete all three challenges, you get a skein of yarn.  It’s a special skein of yarn, just for Camp Loopy people.  This past summer the camp yarn was Mrs. Crosby Hat Box, a sport weight Merino/Silk/Cashmere blend.  I picked the Forest Hideaway color which is various greens.

When the yarn came I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to use it for, but then Loopy Academy started and one of the cowl pattern ideas being tossed around was the Mira’s Cowl.  I thought this would be perfect for my camp yarn.  Now that I’m finished with my Loopy Academy projects for the semester, I cast on for my cowl.  The pattern is a ribbed pattern of various widths so it’s reversible (always nice with something like a cowl that flips around).  I’m working the longer size and I plan to knit until I run out of yarn.  Once I got the stitch pattern established, the knitting has become super easy.  I just knit the knits and purl the purls!

I hope you all have a great weekend!  I’m going to be working on my new projects!
