There is something especially fun about reaching the halfway point of a knitting project. You’ve spent enough time with the pattern to settle into its rhythm, the colors have started to tell their story, and you can finally see the project becoming what you imagined.
I’m officially 50% finished with my Shift Cowl by Andrea Mowry, and I’m having such a great time stitching this one up.
If you’ve been around Knitting Wellness for a while, you may recognize this design style. My original Nightshift Shawl knit with Spincycle yarn has made plenty of appearances over the years, and it remains one of my favorite projects I’ve ever made. This cowl is a smaller, quicker way to revisit that same beautiful slip stitch mosaic knitting technique with a completely different yarn pairing.

Yarn: Spincycle Dyed in the Wool original colors from pattern (I swapped the worsted weight for sport and added more sections)
This time, I’m using the Darn Good Yarn Maker’s Stash, which was kindly gifted to me. One of my favorite things about revisiting patterns is discovering how a simple yarn change can completely transform the finished fabric and feel of a project.

I’ll be sharing more progress as this project grows, but so far, the Shift Cowl has been the perfect reminder that sometimes the joy of knitting isn’t only in the finished object. It’s in the colors changing, the rhythm of the stitches, and the small moments of getting to watch something slowly take shape.
Have you ever returned to a favorite knitting pattern with a completely different yarn? I’d love to hear what project was worth knitting again.
