What a wonderful cowl. I'm so glad I found your video documenting your journey.
I just picked up some doodle cards and a skien set the other day at a local fiber festival. I haven't knit in ages and never knit in the round. But this video is helping me plan how to do my future project.

Ive seen a few baking cowls and yours is by far my favourite! Love the colours you chose 💕

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

This was so much fun to watch. I really like the mixing bowls & mittens motif on the cowl. Great job on the grafting!👏🏾

[@MekamikaShop]

Thank you so much. It was really difficult picking my faves from all of the patterns but those were at the top of my list. I’m notorious for not weaving in ends, so I had to redeem myself this time. 🤣🤣🤣. I knew once I grafted it, there was no turning back. 😊 Thank you!!!

So happy to see u again! Yay meeka! Very good vid showing the test knit process from start to finish. It came out beautifully.

[@MekamikaShop]

Thank you. This has quickly become my favorite cowl of all time.

[@janclayton3782]

This project is so you in so many ways! I don’t weave in ends on this types of cowls. The ends get hidden when you graft it closed. I just secure the ends and go. Glad you to see you back at it!

[@MekamikaShop]

Haha! You know I had to do things the right way for the test knit. No half-stepping. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. 😆😆😆. But yes, most importantly we want those ends secure.
