A collar by any other name…
I refuse to call it cowl. The word irks me, to the point that I’ve resisted knitting one until now, I suspect, because of the name. Don’t ask me why; I haven’t the faintest idea. I know

Collar or cowl?

I find “cowl” irksome, too, and that is most likely why I haven’t knit one, also. The phrase “you have a chip on your shoulder” really gets me going, probably because my father used to say it to me as a young adult instead of giving me worthwhile advice.

Ha ha – there are quite a few words I can’t stand, but most of them are in Swedish. Still, how could you not agree that “bogspröt” (bowsprit) and “öljett” (grommet) are shockingly ugly even in print.
Of English words I don’t like “bandana” for some reason, and “snug” gives me the creeps.

Yes, I am planning to write up the pattern as soon as I have some time and most likely I’ll make it a free PDF, since it’s so simple. It’s based on a 6-stitch motif repeated over and over.

I love that stitch simple and elegant. Are you going to show us how to do it?
Words cause me problems in print – if I see something misspelled it really bothers me. The other day it was ‘caldron’ in the NYT. Instantly freaking out. I looked it up in the dictionary and it’s the American spelling of ‘cauldron’, so I calmed down a little. Caldron looks so ugly and awkward to me but a least it wasn’t an actual mistake.

“Muggy” as pertaining to weather. I don’t know if it is because it confused me as a kid (muggy – is there coffee in the rainwater?) or just the general lack of precision (is the weather mugging people? do you need mugs to hold the moisture?).
Anyway, your collar is looking very nice!

Cowl rhymes with scowl, foul, maybe that’s part of it. The stitch looks like a herringbone. Have you named it yet?

My word is “pants”! I have no idea why. It just reeeeally bugs me. I love making cowl/collars and wearing them. My BF & I call them “Simons”. Get it? Simon “Cowl”? Anyhoo, now I’ve delurked to share my geekiness, I can tell you that I love your blog! (Love that stitch, too – very cool!)

I just can’t stand the word. There is something sort of slippery and icky about the word. I prefer underwear, undies, even knickers.
Nice stitch.
I’m making little basketweave coasters on size US 7 needles. It’s about the size and complexity of project I can handle right now.

Wow, that’s a really cool looking stitch! Are you going to show us how you do it? I can’t think of any words that yank my chain, but I tend to be a stickler for grammar.
