The Bletchley Park Cowl test knit is almost finished. Inspired by the top-secret center for decryption that provided vital intelligence and helped win WW2. The Bletchley Park Cowl uses simple knits, purls and twists to evoke the interconnected pathways of codes and ciphers in an all-over texture. This cowl is a warm and cozy addition to any wardrobe.
This cowl uses the tiny cables or twists discussed in last week’s post.
The pattern will be published just as soon as I finish final edits at the end of the test knit. The test knit deadline is coming right up on February 16th!
Interesting side note: Bletchley Park recruited some 10,000 people by the height of code-breaking in 1945 and two-thirds of them were women. Learn more about the work they did and how they helped win the war here and here and here. I’d love to be able to visit some day with my boys.
