I finished up my eternity cowl at the end of last week, perfectly timed for the chilly dip in temperature of the last few days. It has been constantly around my neck non-stop, I love everything about it, the yarn, the colour, the snugglyness............ but it is the texture of the pattern stripes that I love the most, just scrummyliscious.
I would describe this pattern as one small step up from beginner, it's very repetitive, so perfect for telly watching, chatting or helping your kids with the homework, cooking the dinner and answering the phone multi-tasking type knitting.
It took me just under one month of evening only knitting most days to finish.
Pattern is the Eternity Scarf by Michele Wang (you might need to sign in to Ravelry to see the page)
Yarn is Malabrigo in Chesnut (I used just over 1 1/2" skeins for this) bought from Loop.
I used 60cm/5,5mm circular needles
Inspiration was from Angela
I have some very exciting news to share with you tomorrow.

It looks lovey, although I won't be attempting it. It is a standing joke in our house that what ever I start knitting I never finish it. I start a scarf for hubby a year ago ........ and it's still not finished!!

Nice job. Makes me wish I could knit. My daughter knits and she said we could trade my sewing skills for her knitting skills, but I have a hard time getting anything out of her. Oh well.

It's gorgeous! I need to make one. I've realized that scarves always get in my way but I want my neck to be toasty warm in this cool New England weather.

Gorgeous scarf - not sure I'd cope with a circular needle..
