I might be done knitting Honey Cowls. Perhaps. At least, I appear to be taking a hiatus. Possibly. I'm curious to find out whether it sticks past a few days.
The Honey Cowl charge started just before the pandemic hit -- I finished my Pigeon Blue cowl in February of 2020. And it has absolutely been the don't-need-to-concentrate project for the past two years straight, resulting in me having now finished a total of 21 honey cowls.
These have been gifts and things I kept for me and also sent off as fundraising raffle prizes for two rounds of Romancing the Vote. There's a small pile of them over *points* there waiting to find out their final destiny. One this pictured above, a second one knit from the orange and green that I got from Stranded Dyeworks a couple of updates ago. Excessively fall.
But I noticed as I was charging through number 21 -- Sea Turtle Fiber Arts in her DK and isn't this colorway just funky and remind you of a light bright? I noticed I was fading out. I wasn't sure I wanted to knit another one.
And I say it would have been convenient to know because if you'll recall last Saturday's post, you'll note that I just bought six more skeins of DK. Could I knit other things with them? Obviously yes. But did I pretty much have knitting more honey cowls in mind when I pressed purchase? I did.
So how is that going to shake out? Well, I'll admit that a part of me really wants to knit 25 of these -- just to say I hit that nice arbitrary number. The six skeins that just came in would be 22, 23, and 24 and I could pull two skeins of fingering weight or rummage around and find two complementary skeins of DK in the stash and finish up.
But for now, we're in a holding pattern on Honey Cowls.
(Yes, I immediately alerted AudioGirl when I noticed how I was feeling. She suggested I knit a sock and see how I felt afterwards.)
