Cozy neck

I've been meaning to post photos of the neck cozy I recently finished. The pattern is from The Knitter's Guide to Hand Dyed and Variegated Yarn by Lorna Miser. I like that it is stretchy enough to pull over your head without having to unbutton it. The yarn is Panda Silk, a blend of bamboo, wool, and silk. I used two balls, one solid and one variegated, based on a technique I learned at the talk Lorna gave at my LYS.


Works nicely as a cat cozy, too.

Love it. It looks good on Charlie, but now Apollo will want one too. You'd better get knitting...

That color is great. I agree with Rachel, Apollo needs one. You could make them smaller for cats and start a new business.
Warmly,
Tracey

It's really pretty. I have yet to knit a cowl and want to try. Although with our weather, I need to be under 5 wraps of wool to stay warm. I hope you're well!

I'll bet those are real cozy around the neck
maybe Handsome could use one
And do you really think it is possible that those came from owls?
I thought may-be but I haven't seen them..oh my goodness...this could be exciting news
I did see theree pellets left under the pine tree 2 years ago...fur with tiny bones..cool
at least the neighbor kids thought so!
owls..oh my my lucky life
