I love cowls, but the short ones suit me better so I’ve made a few of them. The long ones look great on some people though. And I did lose a cowl for almost a year – my favorite one, quiviut lace, so light and airy that it went somewhere all by itself and refused to come out. What a great surprise when it did show up!

[...] of Wollmeise Lace to give away. I used less than half of the 1700 yd. skein to knit (held double) a Honey Cowl for a friend. Isn’t that a pretty blue purple color? I can’t remember the name. There is one [...]

I have a question more than a comment. I LOVE the honey 2 cowl and would like to have a pattern to make it. Is there one available? I found a pattern for the honey cowl, but I like the looks of honey 2 more. Please let me know if I can get a pattern for honey 2 and where to find it. Thanks

Squeals of delight from here. I have been wishing for a Namaste backpack ever since I started back to work and had to take the train home a couple of days a week. Not that is is hard to carry the regular bags – I just somehow felt that a Namaste backpack would make me look so much more chic. LOL

I love using the Namaste bags as my everything bag. I carry all my purse stuff in there and add small project bags for socks or whatever. The backpack looks like it will be the perfect size to pop in the ipad and one sock project bag and my purse “stuff” for work.

And no you are not even close to the only one to lose things you have knitted. My mom was nearly in tears once about losing a hat I had knit her the first week she had it. I knit her another one and naturally as soon as I finished it, the first one turned up in the back of her closet. It had come off her head with the hood of her coat and had ridden in the coat until she got home and hung it up. And my daughter routinely loses things. So does my hubby. Luckily they mostly turn up again.

I never lost anything, but I did manage as an impatient 20-something to machine wash all of my hand-knits and felt them all. My two Irish knits with all of the patterns and cables didn’t shrink too badly, but aren’t worthy of wear except for around the house shoveling snow.

I have one Namaste bag. My mom gave me a needle and notions bag, that you add to by purchasing additional “pages” for needles. It’s beautiful, but can’t really be used for projects.

I love the backpack, but while it is beautiful, as with most Namaste products, it is out of my price range for a project bag. Sigh…

Hi Sheri,

I just finished my first cowl, Ann Norling’s pattern Easy Cowl in Any Gauge. It looks great and its not too boring. Plus, you can make it any length you want. I plan to make a few more of these as gifts for family and friends.

I have to tell you that I absolutely love The Loopy Ewe and all of your posts. The downside is they become donwright dangerous to me. I have 20 projects in my Ravelry queue. And I want all of the yarn you post up. Now I am going to work on my Wandering Mor. And maybe check out the website for the new yarn.

I did tragically lose a piece of knitwear. I used to commute on the subway to work, often I would take off my hat or on this particular day the calorimetry I was wearing. I happened to find a seat and set it in my lap. I must have been absorbed in my book because when I got to my stop I dashed out of the train. It was only as I was walking up the stairs and the train was pulling away that I realized my calorimetry was still on the train, having fallen out of my lap. I made a half-hearted attempt to get it back by calling lost and found, but I figured I wouldn’t want to wear it again after it had been on the floor of the subway for an unknown amount of time. I made another one, but it really wasn’t as good. The next winter I made a hat with ties so I wouldn’t repeat my loss.

This just happened yesterday. My boss in my new job asked me If I would make a twin baby afghan for a shower she is going to in about a month. She asked if I had a sample of a pattern I was doing. I brought in my afghan in progress being made with the oodles of cascade 220 that I have. I put it in a large shopping bag as it has long overrun my knitting bag. Before we left for the day I brought it by the door. When we left, I noticed that it was gone. The maintenace person thought it part of the trash and did not even notice it was an afghan. I chased him down, but it was too late. It was gone, I did not know whether to laugh or cry but my eyes did fill up. He kept apologizing and it was a little more than half way done. So, I have learned a lesson that I should not have taken my eyes off of it. Guess, when I am up to it, I will be starting it all over again…………………………………………………sad…………………….
