Friday Needles Report

Busy knitting week for me.  I finished the first Cafe Macchiato sock and knitted the cuff for sock #2.

I cast on "Simple Straight Skirt" by Churchmouse Yarn and Teas in Wool of the Andes Flagstone Heather.  I used their method of provisional cast on, where you crochet a chain and knit into it.  I think if I need to start over I will try Lucy Neatby's provisional cast on method instead.  I have wanted to knit this for several months, so I hope it comes out well.

I knit "Last Minute Cowl" in Rowan Cocoon umber in one evening.  What a fast knit!  I got lots of compliments on it, but I think if I knit it again I will knit flat instead of in the round, and will make it thinner and longer. 

Check out Judy L's page to see what everyone else is up to.

  2. I haven't tried any other provisional cast-on, so I am going to look that up. Your cowl looks so soft and very impressive getting it done in one night.
