Happy New Year everyone! I haven't posted much knitting or sewing lately, but progress is being made. It's happening a little more slowly because I've been pretty busy during the holiday season selling my 3D printed jewelry. For anyone who's interested, the website is T
iny Right Brain Designs. I've been slowly working on knitting a sweater, but while I was selling at various craft fairs, I wanted to knit something really simple that didn't require any concentration that I could work on during slow sale times. A fellow vendor recommended the
Pivot Cowl from Purl Soho. It's a really simple pattern and you can use any gauge yarn as long as you adjust the number of stitches for your gauge. I made two of them - one in a bulky yarn and one in a DK weight. They're both fun to wear.
On an amusing note, I'm using a mannequin that I found for a bargain price in San Francisco at a store closeout sale. I had to haul it back on an SF muni bus, showing here:
I wanted the mannequin not so much for fitting clothing as for a way to display my necklaces for photography. I've decided to name my mannequin "Jolene". :)

Love the three-needle-bindoff on the outside idea. I have often thought of knitting a cowl like that with the seam in a contrasting color. Of course that would require the forethought of using the contrasting color at the beginning of the piece as well the end - unless you want a marled look which may work too. Chloe
