Look for a KAL of this pattern in the Real Knits Group starting July 15!!! It will run for 6 weeks!!! There will be fabulous prizes!!!

We used to think that just about all the Vibranium in the world went into Captain America’s shield, making it super light and resistant to vibrations, among other attributes.

Boy, were we wrong! Turns out that the secretive country of Wakanda was built on an entire mountain of the stuff and the residents used it for all kinds of technological advances, including trains, weapons and armor for some really enormous rhinos.

Now’s your chance to impress people with a cowl reminiscent of the collars worn in Wakanda. Tight to the neck and dripping with beads, this piece will look great while carrying a spear. Or with mittens.

By the way, if you’ve ever wanted to learn to cable without a cable needle, this would be a great pattern for that. It includes lots of small twists that are perfect for that technique.
