I'm taking on the knitting Olympic challenge this year and I decided to keep it simple, keep it bulky and keep it in the U.S.A. by using all american wool. I'll be casting on the Lainey Cowl by Carrie Bostick Hoge using Cestari Yarn Mt. Vernon 3-ply bulky that I picked up during our Shephard's Day event at the studio. I think this pattern/yarn combination is a match made in heaven. The simplicity of the Lainey Cowl calls for a yarn that will create on point stitch definition. With only a few weeks to wrap this project up into completion, look for some finished project photos and yarn thoughts later this month.
