Mulled Winter Wine

The Winter Wine cowl is a simple and satisfying knit. It's a little too simple for my taste, but it was nice having a project that flowed. I've been knitting a lot on bigger needles lately, so I had forgotten how much easier on my hands it is to use smaller needles.

The repeat is easy to remember, so once you have that down, you can just fly!

I named mine Mulled because of the color of the yarn. It's a deep mottled purple, with hints of yellow and blue. It's my favorite type of multi-colored yarn, no pooling.

I picked the yarn up on clearance at a local yarn shop in Long Island while on vacation. It had a cut in the skein so was marked down. Since I started this project last December (2016), I've lost the label, which is a shame, because I'd like to buy more of it. If anyone knows of a similar yarn, I would love to hear about it!

Like I said, the project is a little simple for me, so I lost interest about a quarter of the way through last year. I also lost interest in knitting in general for a while that year. I was working an unfulfilling job and commuting long distances, so just didn't have a lot of time for it.

But now I'm back at it!

This cowl was knit with my favorite Size US 6 needles, yarn unknown, worsted. Blocked dimensions, 32 inches by 6 inches.
