Knitting with handspun is a truly gratifying experience.
This cowl was inspired by the “Totally biased” pattern. I used a Mixed Bluefaced Leicester handspun.
Modifications: my version does not have purl rows. I followed this “recipe” until all the yarn was used up:
- cast on 40 stitches for handspun sport to aran weight
- row 1: k1, k1fb, k to last there stitches, k2tog, k1
- row 2: k2, p36, k2
- finish with a three needle bind off

It's beautiful! I love that the stripes are biased! I'll keep this pattern in mind! I think it would look good on a man:)

It is lovely, and I always love to hear about people knitting with handspun! I wonder if you forgot a k2tog at the end of the first row of your recipe? It seems as if this version would just expand forever.
