The cowl is worked in the round from warm and soft wool (or wool blend) yarn. Fast and fun knit and good gift project :)

Size: One size. Easily adjustable.

Finished measurements:
Circumference: 23 ½” / 60 cm relaxed; width: 8 ½” / 21 cm

Worsted weight wool or wool blends yarn:

Pattern has a small difference with the photo. I decided to add one more opposite color garter ridge on the every edge (as on cowl body).

Happy knitting!

Orchard

Ravelry pattern page

Yarn:
Color A: 1 skeins = 230 yards (210 m) of Knit Picks Palette  in Oyster Heather  colorway (Natural)

Canyon Cardigan (my edition)/ Каньон кардиган (моя редакция)

My brother like Canyon Cardigan by Eunny Jang from Interweave Knits, Fall 2011.
Ok, I promised him to knit this cardigan and ordered original yarn for this pattern.
But due to pattern cardigan should be knitted in the round with the stick and cut. I don't like this method because a cutting yarn hurts my heart :)) So, I used star pattern only and made the top-down raglan fully seamless cardigan.
Also I decided to use smaller needle size than pattern recommended.
I like the result. I hope my brother will like it too (when cardigan arrived to Ukraine).
Modeled by my husband but cardigan is small for him.

Ravelry project page: Canyon Cardigan my edition 

Size: 40" (50 rus)

Yarn: Tahki Yarns Jackson: 6.5 skeins = 852 yards (779 m) in Charcoal and 1.5 skeins = 197 yards (180 m) in Silver

Needle: US 10½ - 6.5 mm

Моему брату нравится Canyon Кардиган дизайнера Eunny Jang из Interweave Knits, Осень 2011.

Хорошо, я пообещала ему связать и заказала оригинальную пряжу для этого кардигана. 

Но по описанию кардиган вяжется по кругу со стиком, потом разрезается. Я не люблю этот метод, т.к. разрезание пряжи ранит мое сердце :)) Поэтому из описания я использовала только схему звезды и связала полностью бесшовный кардиган регланом сверху. Также я использовала спицы намного тоньще, чем указано в описании. Результат мне нравится. Надеюсь брату понравится тоже (кагда кардиган долетит до Украины).

Фото на муже, но кардиган ему мал.

Kilda

Next project is Kilda by Sarah Hatton.

It was really long term project from November 2011 to March 2012.

My gauge was different so I recalculated all pattern for new gauge and my size.

I enjoy result. It's warm enough for our cold spring.

Yarn: Cascade Yarns 220 Wool (100% Wool ; 100 grams - 220yds/200m)

2.6 skeins of Charcoal Gray and 3 skeins of Silver Gray.

Needles: US 7 - 4.5 mm for main pattern, US 6 - 4.0 mm and US 4 - 3.5 mm for ribs.

Мой следующий проект - Kilda by Sarah Hatton.

Проект был долгим с ноября 2011 по март 2012, периодически вязание откладывалось, а потом я снова возвращалась к нему.  

Моя пряжа была толще чем заявлено в описании, поэтому все пересчитано под себя с учетом плотности вязания. 

Результат порадовал. Да и жакет оказался достаточно теплым для нашей холодной весны (протестировано при +8).
