Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Today's free pattern is the Briggs Cowl.
I was provided this beautiful yarn by Briggs & Little. All of their premium Canada grade wool knitting yarns are made from 100% domestic wool, and are milled, carded, dyed, and spun at their factory in York Mills, New Brunswick, Canada. It’s the same place it’s been for over 150 years. How cool is that??
I'm using their 100% Wool Country Roving in the color Mustard. This roving yarn consist of 5 strands. I thought I would have a difficult time using yarn like this. I had no problem at all! I actually really enjoyed it!
I started off knitting a project.....
But then..... my dog (who we just adopted) somehow knocked my project down, chewed up the ball of yarn & my needles! I was upset for a split second but then it was back to the drawing board.
I decided that I would crochet a cowl instead.
