Prompted by a friend, I resolved to learn lever knitting to extend my repertoire of style. I found the very pink video fantastically helpful, so thought I’d use one of her free patterns to practice with and this one caught my eye.

I rooted in my stash and found an absolute mystery ball of thick and thin commercial singles that I’ve not even got on here. I have no idea where it came from. I don’t remember seeing it before, but it can’t have just appeared!

I thought it might look good in this cowl so bravely cast on and set to mastering levering. With the help of the video, I got it, even with the tricky nature of this yarn. As soon as I finished it, my 13 year old daughter laid claim to it - what greater compliment could there be?
