Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit, either. ~Elizabeth Zimmerman

Time to Cowl-UP!

via beautifullife4me
February is a strange knitting month for me.  I am looking toward spring but not quite ready to cast on just yet and at the same time I am ready to move on from the bulkies.

Quick, loopy,wrappy, happy and oh so useful--even on a warmer day when I may not wear a coat I pop on a cowl.

The other thing I love about cowls is no matter your knitting mood you can cast on and be done quickly-
