Notes

Finally a use for the mohair blend yarn Karen gave me yonks ago. Knitted with two strands held together, one of each colorway, to get a more heathery color blend. Ribbing at the bottom ended up very short due to running out of yarn -- am thinking about adding some rows of ribbing with just the Blue on Blue single to see if I can remedy the annoying rolling.

The final garment is a bit thick and that’s fine for warmth, but a bit bulky for good drape. This first infundibulum is mostly going to be for staying warm around the house, I think -- for a more fashionable looking cowl, I’ll want to go with a single ply of yarn instead.

My first use of the Very Stretchy Bind-Off (after the first bind off was too tight) and that is a very handy trick to have in one’s satchel. Much better choice for this kind of thing.
