(Above, the hat I'm wearing is my Rosa Hat, the mitts my just-finished Wabi Mitts, and pretty mug by our dear friend Jess Teesdale.)
I'm such a fan of the knitting designs of Carrie Bostick Hoge - she's been in nearly all of our Taproot issues and I've loved every pattern she's shared with us. Just this week, her latest collection Anthology 2 was released. I jumped on ordering it, and promptly picked two things I wanted to make. I have no shortage of yarn, obviously....and no shortage of knitting projects going on right now. I think I counted five sweaters last time I checked the basket. But all of those - in sport weight or smaller - are plugging along at a slow pace. That's all fine and well, but sometimes it feels good to crank something out. A big, squishy, fluffy cowl on size 13 needles? Yes, please! I chose the Lainey Cowl, knit with Quince and Co's Puffin. Ah...what a treat to start something in one day and finish it the next. And to have something to cozy to wear at the end.
