Cowls :)

I cast off Hamlin Peak cardigan last weekend. Still not bblocked, but off the needles. And as I didn't fancy starting a new cardigan  (too late for a summer cardigan and too early for a winter woolly one), I've cast on a cowl. 

This one is a free ravelry download, Simple yet Efffective by TinCanKnits. Another easy, highly adaptable pattern.  Rounds of alternating stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch,  I've cast on fewer stitches and will knit until the yarn runs out. I only use soft yarn for cowls and I've found some matureed Countess Ablaze varieegated Lord of Silk DK (I think!  Will have to look at the label when I get home) and it's lovley and squishy. I have soem 'boring' colours in this base which will made super cowls for conservatives :) I can see this becoming a repeat pattern.  Any weight yarn, any width, length and a simple enough pattern to carry highly variegated yarns, which we all love to look at in the skein but never seem to knit up.
