I think I've knit four cowls this winter. One was a slip-stitch pattern, one a lace pattern, one a linen-stitch pattern, and one a plain stockinette pattern. Oddly, I think the stockinette cowl is my favorite. Probably because it's knit from a 100-percent cashmere yarn that I got for Christmas...

Most of us began our knitting careers with scarves. One of my first "real" projects was a simple garter stitch scarf, which I gave to a friend. She still wears it, almost ten years later. I cringe a tiny bit when I see her in it, but the rest of me is honored that she's loved it all these...
