#Knitting #Doomscrolling

I am a beginning knitter and recently went on a cowl-knitting binge. It's a great way to practice new stitches (seed and cable) and to stop doomscrolling. It took until my third cable-stitched cowl before I got the hang of unstitching mistakes -- so easy for my mind to wander and miss a twist! Photos show off my four cowls.

@madeindex Thank you! Did you ask for a type (wool or synthetic) or color of yarn?

@nancylwayne Yes, cream colored viscose or cotton, but apparently that kind of yarn seems to be very hard to find. So let's see what I get ;)
