In breaks in between wrangling with the pattern writing, I decided to knit up one last version of my cowl. This time in the original yarn I meant to use for it! It’s turning out OK 🙂
The variegation in the yarn and it being silk gives it a very different look from the other one, but I think the pattern still shows through. I have quite a bit of yarn left, so I may do another repeat of the very last pattern section just to see what it would look like with a minor change to the pattern. This is a much drapier, slouchier fabric, which should look nice with a bit more volume.
This is a little weird for me – I don’t usually reknit patterns. Once is mostly enough! How about you – is there anything you have made more than once?
Quite A Yarn 
I think this one is my favorite:)
I have knit two Miss Winkle and over a hundred pair of plain stockinette socks. I have a friend who will find a pattern she likes and knit 4 or 5 before moving on to the next pattern.

I wasn’t familiar with Miss Winkle – just looked it up, and I see why you like it! Cool pattern, and a great way to showcase lovely yarn 🙂 Plain stockinette sock are great too – no complications, just socks!

The Gramps sweater by Tin Can Knits gets reknit every time I need a baby boy pattern! And the Angel Top for little girls.

Those are cute! Baby gift sweaters are one of my few reknit items too. I have a ratty old pattern booklet from the 80’s with my go-to baby sweater and layette items.

I tend to want to move on to new things too, but every once in a while, I have to go back and re-do something I was just not pleased with.

Yes, sometimes a do-over is necessary!

I have a couple of sock patterns I knit over and over. I’ve made two Little Coffee Bean sweater, but those go fast. I often think about knitting something twice and then brush that idea aside because I think I would get bored.

I’m finding I’m that way with socks too. Every once in a while I try something fancy with the socks and it doesn’t go well. Just plain old regular socks seem to work out the best 🙂
The Little Coffee Bean sweaters are cute! I can see why you like it!

Wow is that ever pretty! I haven’t repeated large patterns yet, though I have remade the same socks, hand warmers, dishcloths, etc
