big lovely cowl

You know what's in right now?  COWLS.  They are fantastic.  They are like scarves, but you don't have to worry about what to do with the ends.  Just loop it up and around you as many times as you like, and off you go.

Not only that, but they are fun to make.  Knit in the round on large needles and big yarn, this project was a one-weekender, the ultimate in squishy satisfaction.  Here is the pattern link for the free download.  In wool ease Claret, I thought it made a nice gift for a dear and fashionable cousin.

I might need to make another for myself.  It seems like just the thing to wear to the dog park on a winter afternoon.
