So this lovely cowl came about in a rather strange way. I saw some gorgeous Cascade Chunky Baby Alpaca in one of my all time favorite colors, and I just had to have it. I have had the GAP-tastic cowl on my favorites list over on Ravelry for some time, and thought maybe it would be the perfect project. Instead of forging ahead, I became tentative and decided I would try out the pattern with some cheaper yarn and make sure I liked what was happening before committing my super delightful sweet sweet green alpaca yarn. I got working on the GAP-tastic and dragged it around to a soccer game, a soccer practice and a birthday party and in no time the cowl was complete. I love it, just as it is…cheap oatmeal yarn and all!
In fact, I am so pleased with this one that I am not sure I should make a second one with my fancy yarn. So now the questions is…what to do with alpaca!

It looks so cozy! I’ve had it on my favorites list for months and months, too, but haven’t gotten around to knitting it yet. Eventually!
Thanks. It was the perfect multitasking knit and I am glad I moved it off the faves and into queue.
Nice! I’m working on one as well, in not quite so chunky yarn (Malabrigo Chungky), but it’s coming along okay.
Thanks. I look forward to seeing your finished cowl!
