Time -Out Yarns & A Quick Impressive Cowl

Do you have a place where all your projects that are in time-put go to? Me too, right? There were 4 project yarns, each a really cool art yarn, each very chunky, each I had played around with making swatches just to see what they will look like as a potential finished project, all hanging out in this place of time-out. And then I came across Neauveau Fiber Arts website and found inspiration in the form of a cowl. The cowl is simple enough but it's the stitch that she incorporates to make the cowl have a perfect fit: looose at the base, snug at the top. There is no need to wind this cowl around your neck to achieve a close, warm fit, you know, like a cowl is supposed to offer. Check out Neauveau Fiber Arts youtube video of how to make an elongated stitch, which I think is magical!

Backing up a bit, these 4 art yarns were products from a weekend retreat at Camp Plucky Fluffy in Asheville. I brought back loads of fiber goodness skill. These yarns are intense! You want to touch and study and gaze at these yarns.  And it's fine to just drape them so they hang languidly about a place.  But a finished project…well, that might be over the moon!
My 4 time-out art yarns are as follows: mohair-y 3-ply, chunky corespun and (2) random coil navajo ply and I did not take individual photos of these; what's up with that? But you can at least see them as a group and knitted up. For this cowl I used US35 circular (30" long?) and I cast on 21 stitches. It's a really fast cowl to make. It looks amazing when worn. Do you think so as well?
