Live and Learn Podcast Episode 3.5 – The Berroco Cowl MAL 2023 Join in the Fun! – This Cowl MAL runs from October 3, 2023 to November 2, 2023 – Knit or Crochet a cowl and join the online groups for chat, fun, and inspiration. I will be making the Alluvial Cowl, changing it up just a smidgen and using up more stash yarn. I love it when projects come together so easily! 10-6-23 Update - I've changed directions a bit - I'm not going to knit the Alluvial pattern (this time). After swatching I decided to create my own design - zig zag motif colorwork with a garter stitch border. The fit will be closer, like a neck gaiter. I'm using the yarns held double, for a chunky weight fabric. Enjoying the process so far!
