Max's Favorite Cowl

I made this cowl to actually be worn on humans! But since I had no models, Max gladly accepted to pose!

Needle
US 8 / 5.0 mm 16” circular needles
Yarn
Classic Elite Yarns: Montera

1 skeins = 127.0 yards (116.1m)
Color way 3818

A super easy cowl!!

This is knit in the round…
CO 90 stitches, Join to work in the round without twisting.
Row one = Knit
5-stitch pattern
Rows 2-6 = K5, P5* repeat * until you complete 5 rounds,
Rows 7-11 = P5, K5* repeat *until you complete 5 rounds
Continue in this pattern until you get to almost the end of the skein.
For this cowl I used an entire skein.
Save enough yarn to knit your last row as a CO row.
Make sure you CO loosely!

Has it really been that long??

Man, once school starts I don't have any time to play on the computer. I would love to be able to at least blog once a week. Maybe that will be my New years resolution!
First up, I am going to read everyones blog on my watch list to see whats been going on. Then I will take pictures of all my progress in the last two months and post them this afternoon.
Since I blogged last, my daughter has enrolled in Culinary Arts. I thought this was the cutest pic of her! Unfortunately I have been the taste tester for all of her pastries. Needless to say, my bottom has also suffered!

Nothing new....

Haven't posted in a while. It has been a crazy week. I went back to school last Monday (the 31st)and haven't sat down since!!
I am continuing work on my entrelac stole, but haven't progressed very far. By the time I get home I want to take a nap! Can't very well knit when I am napping!
Then I still have housework to do, you know, laundry, dished, dogs, vacuuming, the works.
I want another 24 hours in day for myself!!
