Gifts to buy and knit 1 and 2 

a tale of two cowls

showing off

Our Manos Lace shawl has a new accessory - Knit Pro Shawl Pins now in the shop.

(and over 12 shades of Manos Lace!)

One clever pattern - two stunning cowls...

On the ball band of Patons BIG Fab is a pattern for a cowl.  It's a simple Knit 1, Purl 1 rib with the added twist of yarn overs.  It creates a very bouncy, stretchy fabric.  Using one ball and knitting with 10mm needles you get this cowl...

1 ball makes 1 super chunky cowl 

Using the same pattern but using 6mm needles and 2 balls Rico Galaxy Chunky (the one with sequins) you get this cowl...

Karen's Galaxy Cowl in shade 11

Which is simply stunning!

You could even make a matching hat, see our Galaxy hat here.

All of these would make a quick knit and practical gift!

We now have 5 shades of Galaxy in the shop - £7.20 a ball.

There are 6 shades of BIG Fab.  It's £6.25 a ball and has its very own pattern book, full of super chunky accessories.

KAL - all you need...

...is three lovely shades of Jamieson's of Shetland Heather Aran, a free pattern called all you need by LondonLeo on Ravelry and a chart of hearts...

new shades in the shop!

I'm going to use the yellow Husk for the background with Duck Egg blue and Mantilla pink for my hearts.

Not sure If I'm going to do hearts all around or just on the front or indeed all the way up...

Are you joining in our new knit along? Let us know.

It would be a quick Christmas gift!
