STORY
Yes! You read that correctly. This is my wallowing cowl. What’s a wallowing cowl? This is the cowl you knit when you’re having a bad week, carb loading, and watching too many 1950’s musicals. The week I wrote this pattern, I was definitely having one of those weeks. I texted my sister “I’m Wallowing” and she immediately gets my Lorelai Gilmore reference and sends me the YouTube link. What are sisters for? Since I had all the time in the world to knit, but no knitting mojo, I pulled out two skeins of Lo Biggity and it turned into this gorgeous cowl!! Even if you’re having a wallowing day or week (year?) there are so many good and beautiful things that can come out of it!
