Maximus Cowl
Chunky Twinkle Yarn by Wenlan

This is the first knit project I’ve ever posted on here! I started this Maximus Cowl over two years ago at Sewing Summit. I made good progress while we were in Salt Lake City, I had so many great knitters (Amanda & Amanda) around me on that trip! Somehow when I came home, I tucked the project away and could never manage to muster the courage to pick it up again. I pulled it out again in January and was determined to finish it up, once and for all!

I don’t consider myself a knitter, but I did learn to knit ages ago. I’m very comfortable doing basic knitting, but I’ve never progressed into anything too complicated. When I see the incredible shawls and socks that my friends are making, I’m really quite in awe.

The most intimidating part of this project was the finishing. I just dreaded the mysterious ‘3 needle bind off’. When I put a call out regarding this last step, Natalie answered with the promise of her guidance. It really wasn’t that bad and actually it was a really cool technique!

Dare I say that I might like to knit another simple cowl?! Any thoughts on some great/simple cowl patterns that you like?
