This cowl design was inspired by my cat. He thinks he's an ace hunter... but actually he's just a champion sleeper.

I'm often asked how I deal with the floats at the back of my knitting. The answer is, I catch them every 3-4 stitches for a neat finish with no threads that will catch on buttons or jewellery. 🧶

This is how I go about designing a yoke. The magic is when you can't see the joins - then you know you matched it up well.
