Teacher’s Cowl Blocked

The cowl for Addie’s teacher is blocked and ready to send. I love it. I’m glad I have an extra skein in these two colors. I may make one for myself. The smart thing to do would be to keep the yarn and use it for something for next year’s teacher but I really like this red and gray together.

The pattern is King & Thieves and it’s very easy to knit. My row gauge was off a bit so I added a few extra rows in the solid plain stockinette sections.

The lace repeat was very easy to memorize and hardly required any thought once I got going with it.

You can see there are red sections, gray sections, red/gray striped sections. I think it turned out great and I hope she will love it.

  7. It’s really pretty and I’m sure teacher will be delighted with it. Your yarn choices were lovely.

  10. Gorgeous and in my high school colors. I did knit a red/gray sweater in my school colors to wear to football games and winter sports. Wore it skiing as well. I would love to start knitting again but our good knitting shop has closed and i may need some help. I have not knit in over 50 years. Living in the Palm Springs, CA desert does not call for much in the way of winter sweaters!

  12. Love it!! It was so worth all the effort to find the right yarn. I can’t wait to hear of the teacher’s reaction! Well done, Granny.

  13. I love all the different textures and designs. Colors work so well together. This is a very thoughtful gift for a teacher.

  14. She will love it! I am a retired teacher and this is the type of gift I would have treasured.
