Providence Station

$6.00

I  like unexpected combos. Tradition calls for cables to be knit super-sleek yarns for maximum stitch definition, but I loved the juxtaposition of fuzzy tweedy bits with these sharp twisted stitch cables. The combo is the ultimate in coziness. Knit in the round from top to bottom, this cowl uses I-Cord edging for extra polish. The cowl gently increases down the center cable spine for a great drape. The end result is that you’ll look amazing with zero styling effort. Pair with the Abington by Jennifer Lassonde for the ultimate set!

I went to college in Providence, Rhode Island. One of the reasons I chose a New England school was because of the regional train system! I could wander down to Providence Station on a whim and jaunt out to a variety of amazing cities. The cables on this cowl remind me of those adventures.

Also available as part of Point/Counterpoint, Volume 5. Two designers + two yarns = inspiration through collaboration. Each designer independently created an accessory, then sent only a photo of the finished object to the other. In response, the designers used the same yarn to create a new accessory inspired by the first, thus making a set. The only limit is their creativity!
