Oh Aibhlinn, Oh Aibhlinn

I cast on last night in the middle of our April snowstorm (9.5" is the official total for Lake Orion) for the Aibhlinn cowl from Knitty. This one is for me, so accordingly I joined the Just For Me KAL (you'll find the button over there in the sidebar). Because I'm knitting the Aibhlinn from the DK weight cream wool that I reclaimed from the 25¢ aran sweater purchased at the garage / rummage sale the week before last, it also qualifies as the REKAL 2005 and the Thrifty KAL - talk about multi-tasking {g}



The pattern is fairly simple once the bobble row is out of the way - a K3, P3 repeat that shifts one stitch to the left every other row. The ribbing also makes the cowl reversible other than the bobbles. I'm thinking of working the bobbles on the other end in reverse so they'd stick out the other side of the fabric - that should make them show up nicely when the cowl is folded over and scrunched around the neck. Something to think about while I knit the next 21".
