It's been the Longest. Year. Ever.
So, let's #KnitAway2020 with a mystery cowl knit along, beginning on December 26th and ending on January 2nd. For the big reveal on the 2nd, I'm hosting a Zoom party from 6-7 pm EST for participants. We can all show and tell our cowl projects (in progress or finished). There will be prizes, camaraderie, a pattern naming contest, and lots of fun to be had!
While you're knitting, share your progress in my Ravelry group and on social media with the hashtag #KnitAway2020 and tagging me @shaina.bilow on IG or Shaina Bilow Designs on FB
Since I'm a terrible secret-keeper, I'll let you in on these details:
The finished cowl measures about 25" around and is 14" deep. It is a celebration of chevrons and has stranded colorwork, bobbles, and stripes. New clues will be released daily and I have videos to support many of the techniques used in the pattern, like joining in the round, working stranded colorwork, and making bobbles.
