I'm all in a twizzle!

Normally I enjoy making scarves and cowls but save the excitement for lace shawls, cable knits or large fair isle projects.

However, the other day a new yarn from Mountain Colors arrived.  It's named Twizzle and it's so soft and silky.  I had to check the label because I expected to find mor silk in it than advertised.  And of course I pondered just what I wanted to make using just one hank.  Just one hank, you ask?  Yep, it has 250 yards per hank!  That's a lot of yarn.

So I looked and thought and looked some more.  I looked through books, magazines and leaflet patterns.  Couldn't find just the right one, ya know?  So I logged into Ravelry.com (actually I don't think I ever log out, lol!)    After some studying I found http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/garland-cowl and it was just right like goldilocks would say.

I cast on during Knit & Chat last night.  Am really enjoying the pattern and yarn combo.  So I took a pic this morning.

Think I will do this again in a solid.  I think the pattern will show better.  Of course blocking will open it up some.  These are some of the other colorways we have in stock.
Yummy huh?  Don't wait -it's going fast
