Because of the items I gravitate towards in knitting, my projects tend to be things that are worked on and finished in a matter of months or sometimes a year.  What can I say?  I like a commitment and adore a challenge.  

I realised recently though, that it can often curb my motivation and leave you- my dear reader, with only hand dyeing adventures to read about week in and week out.  So I thought for the sanity of all of us, I would do a nice cowl in beautiful Malabrigo Rios: Zazamora.

The yarn itself was a present from my mother on the holidays, and I quickly remembered why she is the ultimate queen of colours.  The yarn flowed gracefully between greens, purples, and blues- which was all snuggled in by grey undertones.  

And, just as I had hoped, it made for deliciously easy quick knitting.  I love working with changing colours, and this was a perfect taste of that to make this cowl fly off the needles in a matter of days.  

Which is especially lovely since it seems the weather has decided on snow no matter where I'm going.  The universe appears to find it fitting to have people snuggle on in and get to knitting (or whatever it is that people do).

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
