Linen Stitch

I’ve had my eye on a particular skein of yarn for quite a long while now. It was yellow moving into grey/purple and white every so often. I couldn’t figure out what to make from it, because doing a sweater would make another racoon. However, it was calling to me and calling to me and eventually I gave in. I bought it and sought a pattern that would fit. In the end, I turned to the Chickadee Cowl, a one-skein bulky linen stitch cowl.

Cast on using the drunken German cast on and got to work. It’s a very easy but satisfying stitch and can be worked quite fast. It took me about a week of rows here and there to finish it. I’m not entirely sure how to wear it, but it is quite nice and I really like the colours. I know it’s a little late in the season for something like this, as Spring is definitely here, but sometimes you just have to be anachronistic.
