Wheat & Soy Cowl

Sep 16, 2018
2 min read



Today, we are getting classy folks. So let's keep those pinkies up because we are getting fancy with it.

Today, we are knitting my Wheat & Soy cowl. This cowl can easily be completed while sipping two glasses of pinot grigio from Sheep Thrills. The Wheat & Soy cowl is very cozy, warm, and the big knit gives this cowl a luxe, sophisticated edge. So what better to pair it with than a light and tart Italian pinot grigio?

Is this too fancy yet? Well don't get used to it, because I am still the Drunk Knitter. Sheep Thrills is a very respectable pinot grigio, but well, the the label features two parachuting sheep sipping pinot grigio like their life depended on it. So to match this, I am using a gloriously soft, and very synthetic roving that I picked up for $3 at a questionable big box store. Feel free to use your favorite Merino roving, I just prefer to save mine for the spinning wheel.


You will need:

300 g of roving. I used synthetic roving found at a big box store

Size 50 US/25 mm needles

A bottle of sheep thrills pinot grigio

A comfy chair

An even comfier blanket

A good Spotify playlist


I like big knits and cannot lie

Using the roving, Cast On about 5 stitches

Work the below garter stitch pattern until cowl measures 26 inches:

Bind off leaving a long tail. Use the tail to sew the two shorter ends of your rectangle together. I used my hands to weave the end into a mattress stitch. Or at least I think that's what I did. The outcome looked like a 8 year old trying to braid her hair for the first time. If you got a lumpy seam like I did, just take a few more gulps of wine and I promise it'll look perfect.


Oh pinot grigio, I love you

Voila, you got a sophisticated cowl. Work it with pride you classy babe you.

And remember, knit responsibly.

I wanted a quick explanation rather than a long technical article. This resource was easy to follow. The main points are clear, and the wording feels suitable for everyday readers.

The discussion about Piso WiFi is interesting, especially for people learning how shared Wi-Fi systems work. Understanding connectivity, access management, and basic configuration can be valuable for both users and operators.

This page felt really easy to settle into right away—no walls of text, just the main idea up front and you can skim without getting lost. I like when a site doesn’t try to be clever with the layout, and this one keeps the spacing and headings pretty chill. I ended up clicking into Drift Boss halfway through and it loads fast and gets you playing immediately, which is nice when you’re just poking around. The whole one-button thing is explained without overdoing it, so you’re not hunting for the basics. Also, it’s kind of refreshing that the play area isn’t cluttered with distractions while you’re trying to focus. The “How to Play” section is set off in a clean…
