Living in the bay area I've come to realize you need to be prepared for all sorts of weather. This week in particular has been in the mid to low 70s but the nights in the mid to low 40s. And we haven't even gotten to the Foggy Month! Layering becomes a necessary skill.
My Springtime Bandit has been working overtime and needed some relief from everyday wear. After the trip to AVFKW and aquiring a few balls of Road to China Light I felt the only answer was more cowl.
FELICITY COWL
YARN
Road to China Light, Fibre Company (65% Baby Alpaca, 15% Silk, 10% Cashmere, 10% camel, 159yds.)
2 skeins, color Garnet or your favorite fingering/sport weight yarn.
NEEDLES
US 6 (4mm) 24in circular needles or whatever you need to get gauge
NOTIONS
Stitch Marker
GAUGE
20 sts & 28 rows over 4inches in Flame Chevron pattern
I plan on making many more to rotate through the wardrobe. It's the perfect thing to give you a kiss of warmth around your neck for those cool summer nights and Bay area afternoons!
Pattern coming soon!
it's beautiful!

Lovely! I hear you on the Bay Area and cowls. (Whoa, mistyped it as Bat Area for a moment. Yup.) I have been getting a lot of wear out of my cowls and shawls lately.

Thanks you guys!
@Dana, you know I totally meant it that way too!
@Kristen - Bat Area/Bay Area, no worries! Even though it's warm in the sun, I'm always surprised with the cool breezes!

Such a lovely pattern, Margaux - looks like it has wonderful drape too.

That's lovely! I love the color and the design really pops in that yarn. Plus, it looks so drapey and sqooshy on. I can see why you'd want more!

So pretty. Looks cozy but very delicate all at the same time, a great spring accessory.

According to my investigation, thousands of persons on our planet receive the credit loans at various banks. Therefore, there is good chances to find a term loan in every country.

Beautiful pattern! I am trying to knit this, but keep coming up short on total stitches when I complete a round. I have been very deliberate in counting and following the pattern. Should you always have 121 stitches on the needle?

I received my first loans when I was 32 and this aided my business very much. However, I require the short term loan over again.
