ReplyDeleteIs there no project to crochet with this yarn? i cant knit and i dont know what to dow wiht this yarn that is sitting at home..plz help!
ReplyDeleteI am so eager to start this project but when I cast on 75 stitches it doesn't look like even near enough to have a long necklace like cowl. Am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
DeleteNope, that's right - cast on 75 stitches. You'll be amazed at how much this cowl opens up. Just make sure you cast on and bind off loosely.
Happy knitting :)
