What I love about Magic Ball is that each skein is unique. It's been hand dyed and hand tied to change color and texture as you knit. I chose to knit my cowl using color, Blossom. My skein started off with a soft pink merino, then a wool/mohair blend with slubs and metallic. A few rows later, the color changed again and I was knitting with an ivory mohair boucle then a pretty pink brushed mohair, and so on - all a lot of fun to knit! What I find so much fun about getting a small project like this is that it changes my knitting up a bit and re-energizes me to go back to some of my larger projects. So, next time you are looking for a knitting "quick-fix" try this easy cowl pattern!

That's a beautiful cowl. Sounds like all the yarns are natural... no polys or rayon.

Thanks, Patti!
DeleteDoes all garter stitch really count as a "pattern"?
ReplyDeleteActually, you would be surprised how many knitters need and appreciate getting this pattern info.
DeleteSomeone had fun using odd scraps by tying them all together. Way too much fun ~ there are several yarns out now that "change" from one style/pattern to the next. They are delightful!
ReplyDeleteYes, using scraps it even a technique you could use to create your own one-of-a-kind yarn. :)
DeleteJust started carrying Be Sweet Yarn in our Fair Trade retail store and have been looking for patterns to inspire our customers and potential students. I am about to go get a skein of the Magic Ball yarn (which is just beautiful) and make a sample. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful! Thanks for the pattern. I just bought a ball of this yarn. Bernie
