This is the Tia Cowl. It is named after one of my nieces who was also my model for many of my knitting adventures. This cowl reminds me of her and is definitely something she would wear.
I was unsure about publishing the pattern so late in the season, but the recent storms on the east coast has reminded me that its not time to put away the winter clothes just yet. Hopefully this pattern will help keep a few necks warm that desperately need it.
The pattern is knitted using yarn from the lovely folks over at Made In America Yarns. The company has been around since the 1904's, producing wonderful yarns right smack in the place of brotherly love, Philadelphia.
Made In America produces several different yarns in gorgeous colors. It was hard for me to settle on just one. But eventually, the American Lamb yarn in color Wine Glass won me over. American Lamb is a bulky yarn, but it has a great feel and fluid movement on the needles.
Knitted with two strands held together on large needles, this project is indeed a quick knit with lots of style- instant gratification!
I am hoping to work with Made In America Yarns again sometime in the near future. I'm thinking a lace scarf made with their Wayfarer yarn. What do you think?
