What is the difference between an infinity scarf and a cowl? I'm not really sure. I'm  calling this one my Seed Stitch Cowl. It didn't start off as a cowl. Last winter I wanted to start knitting again, so on one of  my trips to Joan's I bought a few sequins of Lion Brand yarn and some bamboo knitting needles. With no pattern in mind I cast off what I thought was going to be a simple scarf maybe with some pompoms on each end and I started knitting and knitting; mostly while watching TV. Knitting is just so relaxing. However, as the scarf started to grow I began to have doubts about the scarf plan I had initially planned. So I decided to take a break until I figured out what to do with it. Well that break was about three  or four months (crazy how time files). Anyway, I decided to finally finish it and make it into a cowl/infinity scarf by joining the ends together. I used a crochet hook to join the ends and the seam is hardly noticeable.
I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I love the yarn and how the color changes depending on the background and lighting. I think I'm ready for winter with my new cowl and maybe to start a new knitting project.
By the way, Mr. Weekend Doings was the photographer for the photo of me modeling the cowl. I think he is a natural with the camera, don't you agree?

Have a wonderful week!
