The Cactus Cowl knitting pattern walks you through making a bandana cowl, a triangle shawl without the triangle shawl ends. This makes it a warm and chunky winter neckerchief without all the extra bulkiness of those dangling ends and tassels! Don't get me wrong, I...
You know that feeling. You want a project that makes a statement, but you don't want to do a lot of counting, or switching colors, or learning new stitches. You want to watch tv or listen to an audiobook or chat with friends and not wonder if you'll have to frog half...
