My Go-To Winter Accessory
Even when the weather is a sharp 17 degrees, I make time to go horseback riding every weekend. The past two winters I've worn the Twiner Trellis Cowl on every ride. Knit in Classic Worsted, this thing is bombproof and SO WARM. And it still looks brand new despite getting caught on branches, dropped in the mud and sneezed on by horses (don't worry - it's also withstood lots of washing!). If I had more time I'd make one for everyone at the stable. If you work or play outdoors in the winter, I cannot recommend this one enough - it's been a lifesaver! And it's free on Ravelry!
Happy Knitting and Crocheting!
All the best,
Jocelyn J. Tunney
