Just this morning, with my coffee, I finished binding off my “flower power” cowl. Then . . . I had to wait for the sun to come up to take a couple of photos in the natural light outside.
It’s not been blocked yet. And it definitely needs a lining. Those floats (even though I “managed” them pretty well, in the end) would easily get stuck on an earring. Easily. So. Lining it is. (The pattern does call for a lining, by the way.)
Here is Sleepy Kym, getting a first try-on in the bathroom earlier this morning. And JoJo, of course. (Because you know she was in on it, too. . . )
It’s gonna be really, really warm — and super toasty. (And I’m really, really hoping I won’t need to wear it until NEXT winter.)

How about you? What are you making this week?
Great finish! Such a hippy vibe to it. Colorful, fun and I sure hope you can make a lining and put it away for the balance of the year (or at least till November!). I’m still making socks…as usual…
What a beautiful cowl. I love the bright 60’s flower power vibe. I am scrolling for sweater patterns this morning😉
That looks amazing!
That is a great, colorful cowl! I hope you can get the lining finished (does this basically involve knitting another cowl?) and put it away until next year!
That is such a fun pattern. It is sure to brighten and warm up the grayest of winter’s days NEXT WINTER!
That would cheer me up on the darkest December morning! Hope you DON’T need it un then!
It’s beautiful, Kym!! I hope you have no need of it anytime soon… there’s a little snow in our forecast but the temps are not too bad (for this time of year and considering what they’ve been).
That’s just beautiful! I love all the colors. Do you do a knitted lining or a fabric lining? I would think a knitted lining would make it really really warm. And it would even look great inside out!
It’s adorable — and for some reason reminds me of Barbie clothes from my childhood – in a good way 😉
Here’s to bringing it out next November, and not before
A masterpiece!
I just love this. And I know I’ve said it before but it’s SO YOU. The flowers, the colors, the warmth! It will be wonderful . . . NEXT winter. (I hope)
Wow, those colors are great! Those flowers will sure brighten a cold, dark winter day…next winter!
Stunning! And I hope it sits until next season too! I finally finished my sweater and it needs a blocking…I need to hit Ravelry to see what’s next. I think it’s the first time ever I’ve not had the next thing in mind!
Love the cowl! I’d love to know what you are going to line it with…a fabric like silk? Or fleece? I’ve thought of lining things that I’ve knit but never have known what to use.
I’m knitting a crescent shaped shawl with an impulse purchase yarn that after I bought it I never knew what to do with it. That happens a lot for me. I’m crossing my fingers that I have enough yarn to make an actual shawl and not just a scarf.
What a fantastic finish! (at least of the knitting … and I’m sure you’ll make quick work of that lining, too!)
It looks fabulous! Love the whole thing! I too am curious about wha the lining will be.
My knitting is on life support. I have two sweaters that need sleeves: one heavy wool jacket/cardi for next winter and one linen tape top that I guess I should get back to for this spring and summer.
What a pretty cowl. I hope you don’t need it until next winter but what a lift it will provide on a gray day.
I love it! So so so cute! I think the lining will make that the perfect cold weather companion for winter walks! XO
As for me… I am closing in on the bind off of sleeve one of The Perfect Sweater!
It is FABULOUS, Kym! It’s going to add such brightness and joy to the dark days of winter — next year.
I am rotating between a sweater, a cowl, and a crocheted dishcloth. It all depends on what else I am doing as I stitch (2/3 require me to look closely at what I’m doing with my hands, so they don’t go so well with reading).
