Knitting

One of the commissions I was working on was a cowl for my friend Val. She had picked some yarn from the stash I had with me at a crafting weekend. I tried crocheting with it but it just didn't do the self-striping sock yarn justice. I tried knitting in the round with it which is what it needed but I didn't have a short enough circular needle. So I order one and got to work. I think it turned out pretty good and she loved it.It's just a simple knit in the round, rolled edged cowl. A portable turtle neck, if you will. Nice and simple but it seemed like it took me forever to finish it. Small needles + small yarn = a lot of stitches!!
