Your Loch Ness Cowl is looking incredible. If one of the yarns is a bit thicker the better one is the one for the colorwork so you are fine. It could help stand out more. Blocking makes such an incredible difference on colorwork. I did a tube scarf last year in colorwork but was fingering and I was amazed with the difference once blocked. Great progress on the rest of your projects as well.
The Loch Ness cowl is amazing. It's going to look great, (it is already). The pink sweater is beautiful. I like the neck on the cable slipover, is so pretty. Your socks are great. (I have 15 pairs of my socks!)
I’m looking to make a vest/slipcover as well. I bought yarn for it specifically and I also cannot decide on the pattern to use! Keep us posted on what you decide!!
I’m doing the Oxbow Socks challenge! It’ll be my first time doing the Andrea Mowry socks in a weekend challenge. I still need to pick yarn from my stash for it, I’m so excited 😄
Like you, I wasn't that into knitting socks until this year so I never did Andrea Mowry's KAL. I am going to try it this year though because I have been loving both knitting and wearing socks lately and could use the excuse to make a dent in my sock yarn stash!
I’m tempted to try the Andrea Mowry sock challenge but I can’t fathom how I’d get two socks done in a weekend! I do like the look of the pattern this year
Knitty McPurly just did a podcast on the Timbo vest…really fun!! LOVE the Loch Ness cowl!!! When will Alchemy be released…I think that it’s a gorgeous sweater!?!
I'm curious how you feel about math? I know spreadsheets make you happy so maybe math does? If so, draw the outline of your foot to figure out the number of rows. Take into account negative ease. I like doing the math because not all yarns are equal so my row gauge determines how many rows in the foot. For the cuff, a random rule of thumb I like is 1/3 the number of rows of the leg (it's gives a pleasing proportion). So 72 round leg, I'd knit a 24 row cuff, 60 round leg, 20 row cuff, 48 leg 16 cuff, etc.
Of course! I want everyone to experience a Rachel is Knitting Tour!!! You need to cast on the Book Club Cardigan so you can experience the magic (and pain) of knitting it with me! 😂
That Nessie cowl is absolutely fabulous!!
Ohhhhh that Mermaid Caves colorway is so pretty!!!!!!! It really suits you 😊
Thanks, it’s a really fun one to work with!

I’m going to join the Sock challenge with Andrea. My first time. It would be great to see you vlog about it.
Awesome! I'm planning on it!
Yay! You're back! Thanks for shouting out the Scotland Knitting Tour!
