miles of icord
ok only just over 100 stitches worth. It’s a bit tedious but a dpn makes it go faster. I’m surprised how much I’m loving this combination of colors.
shift.01
Surprised by the yarn choices I’ve made and curious if they work for this project or if they should be a fade instead of a shift. There's an easy way to test if there's high enough contrast and I've just not bothered. I like how it looks knitted so far, so that's good enough. I wish the pattern was laid out in a more user friendly manner (orphaned rows in columns without a heading repeats mean flipping back and forth) however that doesn't matter much. It’s interesting, now that I have the rhythm down it's easy to read, and most importantly I am having fun.

popcorn knitting
I’m on section 7 and am ignoring basically everything else because I want to see what happens next. I even bought spin cycle to knit another one. It’s a great design, easy to knit. The pattern style and layout isn’t my favorite but I get why it’s a popular pattern!

honestly I never thought I’d knit a shift cowl. Last week there was something about slipped stitches that grabbed my brain. I don’t have full bandwidth at the moment for the deep swatching required for what I’m thinking about so I debated between two patterns and this one was purchased. It’s a popcorn type project. Now that I have the basics of the rhythm I don’t have to read the pattern closely. I’m in section 3.
There’s layout and instructions I’d have written differently and it’s a good reminder as I get back into designing again.
