I'm currently knitting a cowl as well, mine is just a basic moss stitch on regular needles with a thick yarn (I plan to sew the two ends together once it's finished since I have no circular needles). Be sure to post pictures when you are finished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274641 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:42:48 +0000 annagybe 274641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you were right about Ravelry. I found a pattern that uses similar weight yarn, it's called the Aspen Neck Cowl. And because I have 10 skeins (125m/skein) I can probably make two. The yarn is a marled (hope that's the right term) black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274627 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:27:27 +0000 Barbara 274627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post! I had never heard of Ravelry before (great name for those of us familiar with unraveling). Yep, I've done it. I think you could handle either pattern, and I'm a beginner as well.</p> <p>I recently made five scarves for Christmas gifts. Each scarf required one skein of yarn, I did them in garter stitch and finished by edging with coordinating eyelash yarn. I used "Angel Hair" yarn from Joann Fabrics. It's fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274608 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:28:09 +0000 nicoleb 274608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loooooooooooove Ravelry! Please add me as a friend! My name of there is Nicole1484. I would love to see your guys projects! </p> <p>And yes, Ravelry has TONS of free patterns and rates them on difficulty and you can read user comments etc. I think you will really enjoy using circular needles. Makes stockinette go super fast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274605 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:12:53 +0000 Diana 274605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More ravelry love here! Tons of patterns to browse through and also lots and lots of advice and inspiration.</p> <p>Both of these patterns look pretty doable for an adventurous beginner, so I think you should be fine with either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274501 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 05:39:10 +0000 stringy 274501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see all the Ravelry love here! I've got the same username there as here, feel free to friend me and let me know you're a YLF gal if your username is different over there.</p> <p>Annagybe, you can absolutely do either of those patterns. A few increases/decreases, joining the ends together to make a loop, or knitting on circular needles is a good next step for a beginner - there's lots of info online on how to do those things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274491 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 05:11:28 +0000 kellygirl 274491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third the Ravelry recommendation. There are lots of free cowl patterns to browse. I knit the Eternity scarf I wore in my recent WIW post. That one was very simple too and can be worn long or doubled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274482 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 04:54:27 +0000 Kate 274482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the ravelry.com recommendation - it's great! I also like <a href="http://www.knitty.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.knitty.com</a></p> <p>I also like browsing library books on knitting and making photocopies of the patterns I like (it's rare to find a book with more than a couple patterns that I actually love). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274460 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:59:19 +0000 Anonymous 274460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just a beginner but I like to knit simple things that I don't have to think too hard about. I like knit purl knit purl in front of a good movie. I don't like to rip out either, so I guess I am a lazy knitter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274454 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:44:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 274454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>double post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274452 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:41:22 +0000 chewyspaghetti 274452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna- the second pattern is definitely simpler than the first, but if you are adventurous you can probably handle the first. You don't have to pay for knitting patterns, though-<br /> <a href="http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.knittingpatterncent.....ectory.php</a><br /> has a ton of free patterns, and if you join <a href="http://www.ravelry.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com</a> there are even more.<br /> Tomorrow, I am wearing an infinity scarf that I knitted. I love getting to wear my hand knits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/semi-ot-knitting#post-274436 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:11:24 +0000 annagybe 274436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very much a beginner knitter. I can knit, purl and do stockinette stitch on straight sticks. I've only made scarves so far.<br /> I bought some gorgeous merino wool in Australia (8 ply but thin, uses 4 mm or #6 needles). I would like to make a cowl.<br /> Does this look like a complicated pattern?</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62370380/ruffled-cowl-knitting-pattern" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/62.....ng-pattern</a></p> <p>or should I stick to something like this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.purlbee.com/cashmere-cowl/2006/11/16/materials-for-cowl.html#comments" rel="nofollow">http://www.purlbee.com/cashmer.....l#comments</a> </p>
