Cowls & Cousins

So if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a “cowl kick” recently.  I love them.  The chunkier, the better.

With fall gearing up and my love of cowls in full swing, I couldn’t help but stock up on lots of cowl-making yarn tonight (like I need more skeins for my stash). 38 skeins to be exact.

Woops. :)

Most of this yarn will be turned into cowls and I think that warrants a FREE CROCHET COWL GIVEAWAY (posting about that next) WOO!

The family was also over for Thanksgiving which means for the first time in a while, I’ve had live models!  A few of my younger cousins and my sister (a JJCrochet regular), were kind enough to model a few cowls for me.  Unfortunately, all the eating slowed us down and we didn’t quite beat the setting sun, but we were able to get a few shots in.

I’m still undecided whether or not these wonderful winter scarves can jump across the gender gap.  What’s your vote… Can guys wear crochet cowls??

You can make most of the crochet cowls in this mini cousin-photo shoot yourself using JJCrochet’s free crochet cowl patterns.

JJCrochet Photoshoot, Jan 2010

I’m still home on Christmas break from college (PTL for private schools with 4 week Christmas breaks) and have been crocheting and knitting quite a bit.  I’ve made way too many knit and crochet hats, but when you have a hat-selling business, I guess that’s a good problem to have.  Last week, I convinced my younger sister to model some of my crochet hats and we had so much fun – me playing with my new camera, and her just loving being other the other side of the lens.  It was about 15 degrees here in Pennsylvania when we took these shots and I can still hear my little sister complaining about the cold.

While we did take some great pictures of my crocheted and knit hats…

…There were some awkward/ funny/ disturbing pictures that just won’t make the final cut.

She started to get a little crazy towards the end…

Overall, though, I’d say this photoshoot was a success.  And if not, at least I have some great pictures to use as blackmail when she gets older.
