Another cowl needs a name July 26, 2011
While waiting for yarn for a couple of sweaters
to arrive (the first package arrived from Green Mountain Spinnery with Saturday’s mail) I knit up a quick little cowl pattern with Malabrigo Lace Baby Merino. Before you panic with thoughts of knitting a cowl forever with 30,000 stitches, while this cowl is knit with lace yarn, it’s held double, and worked with size 7 needles, so the knitting actually goes fairly quickly—much faster than a pair of socks.
The photo of the blocking cowl is horrible. Mostly it’s the color. The color in the picture is atrocious. It’s really quite pretty in real life. The color in real life is much closer to this small picture to the left. But, I’m showing you this horrible blocking photo, because I once again am in need of a pattern name. And though the color in the photo is awful, the stitch is plainly visible, which is the important part for this little exercise.
If you have an idea for the name for this pattern, please let me know what it is by leaving a comment to this post before midnight July 28, Pacific time. Whoever suggests the name I end up using will get a free copy of the pattern after it’s released.

I was torn between things like Tangled Keys or Broken Links, but then came up with Lost Labyrinth.
It’s beautiful.

Eclectic Curves (because at a quick glance I saw many turns and curves in the cowl)

It reminds me of Clematis. Beautiful!

I think Winding Path suits it well. I find myself following a stitch pattern to see where the path winds to and then getting distracted by another one!
It’s lovely, and I will look forward to purchasing the pattern when it becomes available.

How about Chain Reaction? That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic.
Love it!

Celtic Dreams
I love it, I thought it looked like the twisted celtic knots. So very striking.

Wow, love the cowl! Can I enter more than one idea for a name? The first thing that came to my mind was something about lovely little underground creatures that make their way where we can not see them. Nope, nothing to do with creepy crawlies, so how about ‘Hymenoptera’?!
Ciao, Fleur

I was going to try to name then I read the others. Can I vote? Lost Labyrinth is the one I like. I was going to say Twisted Links.

I too was thinking of labyrinths, so I propose Knossos. I love this pattern!

How about Acanthus? The structure and the leafy shapes remind me of the tops of Corinthian columns.

‘Gimme all your honey’ - because to me it looks like the navigation system that a bumble bee would use!
