First, many, many heart felt thanks for your support of my farm and fibery endeavours. I shipped out the first batch of yarn today and have more going out tomorrow. I love knowing that Indy and Hayden are "out there" now, along with my daily chores and labor, love, laughs, time, good energy and everything else that goes into small scale fiber production. If you happen to be on the receiving end of a skein I'm really looking forward to your feedback. You can find indy hayden twenty twelve as part of the Rav database too. If you're in the market for some sweet alpaca yarn you can find some here. Yahoo!
Ok, so, here we go again folks! I wrote up another addictive (warned) and fun cowl project for you that is sure to warm your needles and your necks. I'm calling it the Textured Cowl, because I am much more creative with my knits than my naming, and you can find it for FREE as a Ravelry Download.
I really love this cowl. I think it's suitable for a man or woman depending on the color you use and I also think that depending on color it takes on very different feelings. I can't wait to knit one in a sweatshirty gray. I am staring at an absurd amount of super bulky in my stash but, of course, not that color.
I feel like such a bore being redundant but it must be said that I love offering patterns for free, in turn, I humbly ask that you direct people who are interested in purchasing a cowl to my Etsy shop, please do not sell any yourself. I'm going to try something new here. I want my patterns to be available to everyone (read free) but if you've knit (and enjoyed) my patterns before and feel that they are worth something to you or feel inclined to contribute to my design work I've added a PayPal donation button to the sidebar. I'll be sure to keep the patterns coming. Thank you so much!
Whew. Now that I got that out of the way. I can't wait to hear what you think about this knit and look forward to seeing your creations on Ravelry. If you don't happen to be a knitter, this cowl is currently available in my Esty shop and ready to ship or you can choose your own color and let me knit for you, which I love to do.
Enjoy! And many heartfelt blessings and thanks,
xo Spidey
Beautiful! Can't WAIT to knit one of these! I love the drop stitch cowl and have already made quite a few of those. I am sure this will be equally delightful. Thank you for so generously sharing your patterns!

Just stopped by via Ravelry -- love your blog! Love seeing a bit of mountain life in VT, too. We moved to the DC area from just outside of Woodstock about 4 years ago, and I miss it something fierce.

Hey Sarah! One of my brothers lived in Woodstock for a spurt! And now, I have some family and friends in DC too. Thanks so much for taking the time to say Hi :)

I make my own patterns also..and sell on Etsy. I don't mind others using my patterns to sell or just to make for the fun of it. I have read there is nothing new under the sun...so I figure I like to give my permission than to feel like someone stole my pattern:)
Love,love your yarn!!!
