As much as I had wanted to join in on the fun of the challenge of recreating my own Katniss cowl, I'm glad that I didn't and had to spent more time at my sewing machine than with my needles. Why? Because there would have been no way that I would have been able to construct such a perfect version of the original as the one Lolly of Lollyknits did! I mean, just look at it! It's pure atomic awesomeness in cowl form! Fabulous job Lolly!
As if that wasn't enough, Lolly is super lovely and wrote up the pattern AND is offering it for free in her Ravelry shop! Thank you Lolly!!

You can bet all your cashmere that I'm going to try my hardest to whip up my own Katniss cowl using Lolly's pattern. Actually, funny story: as I was typing this post up, my wonderful and multi-talented friend Jeni had posted on my personal Facebook page the Ravelry link to this pattern! Before I had a chance to even click the 'publish' button on this post, Jeni had already made it her mission to head out to the nearest Michaels to nab the yarn and supplies needed for a group of us to knit our own Katniss cowls! Now, if I can play my cards right, I might even be able to convince them to make a day (or night!) of it and create our cowls together...complete with some yummy Vancouver Island Brewery Dough Head beer (can you say YUM-O??)!! So...if any of the ladies in this Katniss cowl crew is reading this, what do you think??

A HUGE thanks to Lolly for generously giving the world the Katniss cowl pattern and for giving me permission to use her photos on the blog!!
Ok, so who else is going to be whipping up a cowl in time for the November 22, 2013 Catching Fire premiere? Hands up!
♥ Happy knitting!! ♥
If you knit the cowl and wear it to the movie, please post pictures because that would be too awesome!
