Product Details
"Tilting at windmills" is an idiom that means attacking imaginary enemies. Is colorwork your enemy? Attack it!
This expression is based on the 400-year-old story of Don Quixote. An obsession with chivalric novels leads the protagonist, Alonso Quixano, on a quest to revive the chivalry of knighthood. In one of his most famous adventures, the self-dubbed Don Quixote de la Mancha encounters a large group of windmills. However, he believes they are fierce giants with long arms and attacks them without hesitation. Channel the bravery of Don Quixote to attack your own windmills.
The cowl begins with a two-color long-tail cast-on and ends with a matching stem-stitch sewn bind-off in the contrast color. The top and bottom borders are striped, but the broken rib creates an interesting blip, perhaps Don Quixote's heartbeat for his beloved Dulcinea. The body of the cowl features a tessellating windmill pattern in two colors of worsted weight yarn.
