Hot Pink Knit Cowl

This week I've finished a cowl similar to the multi-colored one I posted about here. I modified the pattern a bit like I mentioned before by not using any purl stitches. I actually like it a lot better! The purl stitches did give the other cowl a nice texture and look, but the knit stitches make it look very clean. I love it! The color is also awesome. Can never go wrong with hot pink in my opinion :)

It is getting more difficult to knit things as quickly as I would like since school is back in session. I work 40 hours a week, then go to class at night until 9 or 9:20 for 3 of the nights in the week. The other two nights I'm doing homework or working out, or both!! My weekends are spent frantically trying to get the laundry and housework done, plus getting my homework finished and studying, and in the case of this past weekend, working! The working part doesn't happen very often, so that's no big thing. I did miss out on the farmer's market again this weekend though. Next weekend I will definitely be jogging over and hopefully getting some great, organic, fruits and veggies. Come to think of it, I should blog about it!

Anywho, here is my latest cowl (which you can find in my Etsy store)!

    1. Thank you so much! I love this color soooo much. When I saw the yarn I could not pass it up. Didn't have a plan for it and it's been sitting around for months. I'm happy with how it turned out once I found this pattern though!

  5. Thanks for sharing, I love hot pink, but living with a family of boys, everyone around here would rather I wear a different color:(

  6. How beautiful! I think pink is a great color, one that every gal should have a little bit of, hanging in the closet. Heck, even my husband has a couple of pink shirts. Really, though- the cowl is gorgeous!

  7. I think I like the modified one better. Both are lovely. Finding time to do something you love often becomes a challenge. Always try to carve out just a few minutes each day for yourself. You will be amazed what you can get done with 15 minutes of work on a project.

  8. I've given up on knitting until the puppies have all found their forever homes. *LOL* Your cowls remind me of a scarf my mother knitted for me that could wrap completely around my neck twice and the ends would still go down to my waist. Excellent for cold and windy days!
