Cast on Monday – Back to my studio

Posted on by Laura Kate

Since I returned from the cruise to Alaska, It’s been pretty hard for me to keep up my posts. First of all, we both came down with Covid. Recovery took 5 plus days. And then I found myself dissatisfied with my past work. It’s been a hard few weeks.

I thought an easy cast-on would help ease me back into things. So I chose a two-color cowl that will use up some stash yarn.

Spinal Twist, by Rebecca Marsh, starts with a crocheted provisional cast-on.

I have chosen some very soft single twist yarns. Labels have been lost, but it feels like there is some portion of alpaca.

Knit in the round, on large needles, with thick yarn. This could be finished in a week. By then, maybe my creativity will be unblocked and body fully healed.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.

  3. After all your creative endeavours have been delayed and set aside, an easy project is soothing and helps you get back into things for sure! Good choice. Looking forward to seeing your final knit-up as the Ravelry pattern looks really nice.
