Several Uses For a $78 Cowl

It may have cost almost eighty bucks but it's not just a cowl!
First we have the snood:



Next we have a muff:



Then we have, of course, the cowl:




And lastly we have the tube top:



Granted for that last one you have to be about 5'3'' and 105 lbs.

After knitting my lovely cowl, I seem to have some leftover yarn.



For $25 it can be yours.
I'd like to thank my almost unwilling son Patrick for doing this for me. I didn't even have to pay him. Much.

Your son is a great model! I have to admire his bravado in doing it.

Oh, dear! You're going to have to give him a raise, I think! VERY cute post!

He looks fab in his knitted tube top :)
Still am trying to get over the cost of the yarn - I'm kind of a yarn snob, but, wow!

HAHA!
Your dh may find the tube top cute on you....

At least you are getting some use out of it.

At least it's a GORGEOUS overpriced cowl.

Ha Ha! What a great sport your son is. I see that you leave comments over at Voolenvine's blog and wanted to say "Hello!" I wasn't prepared for a good belly laugh. =) Thanks for that!

I can't believe you got your son to do the tube top pix. What a great sport. I hope you rewarded him outrageously! I looked up the yarn and it would be $44 retail. Now, they would get that much less at wholesale cost so adding $34 for a pattern and needles is ridiculomous! So sad to turn off new knitters that way (and this is coming for a girl who has a $60 angora scarf so cost isn't usually a problem here.)

LOOOOVE IT!!!! Very stylish very snug and multi-functional. Men should wear tube tops more often!

I like the tube top the best - too funny!

The cowl is gorgeous though - looks very snuggly!
