    I have to say, I always enjoy it when you share your cowl/neck warmer patterns. Easy, simple and always a great way to use up the bits and pieces. Thank-you Tina.

    Oh bless you we have all put weight on and with a passion for crafting I have to keep telling myself to get out of the chair lol, have starting walking as soon as I get up in the morning let’s see how long it lasts!! New to your channel but living the content, I am a crocheter with dreams of being a knitter xx

      Hi, welcome to the channel. Apparently walking in the morning is really good for you mentally as well as physically, so well done you . I think crochet is harder than knitting so I'm sure you will pick it up once you get going . I love the rhythm of crochet but haven't progressed further than blankets 😁

    Hi Tina. You do make me laugh.😂Thanks so much for sharing cowl/neck warmer pattern & showing how to keep yarn in different hands etc. Love the pattern & you make the colour work look so easy, so I’m definitely going to have a bash at this later though I’ll probably end up with a tangled mess. 😅. Will be great to wear indoors too & stay snuggly. Have a lovely weekend

    I too like a Neck Warmer, especially if there’s a brisk wind…
    Wrapped long/er cowls are best for me if they snug up!
    Re “sweater shrinkage”… it’s the WATER or washing, not us! My jeans are doing the same thing?!?!?! Cuz wine & cakes are NOT the problem 😂😂

    Hi Tina ❤️😁 ...... I'm so glad you're back !! ...... Is that bind off called "Jenny's stretchy bind off?"..... In not sure🤔..... I have another question for you .... When you're on your bind off row and you knit the two stitches together did you then purl two together ? I'm only asking because it looked to me, that you knit two together and then purled two together but you referred to the purl stitches as " knitting" them. Have I confused you now too! Lol 🤔☺️ xx

    Tina, you say your pattern is 1st then 3sts then 5sts and then back the other way. Yet your demo shows you knitting 4sts !!!!
    I wonder why, when you cast off in rib, you didn’t purl 2 together in the purl part 🤔. A nice cowl though 😊

    Great cowl and a lovely jumper. Definitely block and keep eating cake and drinking wine. 😊 I've used that cast off but I cast the purl stitches off purlwise on the purl stitches as that's what I thought you were meant to do. I'll try your way next time. How do you film from above? Do you have a special tripod? X

      Have you thought of writing a book with all your cowl patterns in it?
