Volcano Trail

I gave a glimpse the other day, and here's the finished cowl.

Volcano Trail.

This has been my project for Zoom calls.  The pattern calls for four colors of fingering weight yarn held double.  The design features an interesting construction that gets wider across the shoulders.  The cowl is mainly garter stitch . . . a very relaxing knit.

The pattern calls for duplicate stitch down the center.  I like the marled look and was feeling ambivalent about the duplicate stitch.  I can always add it later if I feel like it.

The yarn is a Lillian Bundle in the colorway Pond Scum + Pinks.  There are a variety of color options listed on the website plus more project ideas for the Bundles.

Knitting and Zoom

Over the last year, many knitters have developed creative strategies for dealing with Zoom calls.  Let's face it.  If you're not actively presenting during a call, it can be a great opportunity to knit a few rows . . . or more.

The other day I was on a call.  I ran into issues with my Zoom project and had to set it aside.  As luck would have it, I had a couple spare projects near my desk.

I picked up my Volcano Trail.  This one seemed like the best option for Zoom knitting, and I'm glad I grabbed it.  It got me through the call, and I made decent progress too.

Now I'm on a roll with this cowl and will probably give it more    attention - even when I'm not on Zoom.  What's been your favorite project for Zoom knitting?
