Good Karma Shoulder Cozy
My friend, Andrea, liked my Good Karma Scarf design, however she wanted to knit it as a shoulder cozy. I contemplated that idea, modified the scarf pattern and the Good Karma Shoulder Cozy was born. Ta-Da! Lol! I hope you like it!
This yarn is a marvelous blend of textures and colors – a feast for the eyes and fingers. Adding beads makes it even more fun.
I had always thought of Karma as the effect of doing good in the world and good coming back to you. It is that, and much more.
A quick internet search revealed that Karma has multiple definitions and meanings – much to study if you are so inclined.
Generate good Karma by knitting a shoulder cozy for a family member or friend. It would make a lovely gift!! Enjoy!
