Not-So Dark Cowl

Finished this Darkside Cowl yesterday. It was a great and quick project. I think it only took about four days. What prompted a cowl, you ask? Last Friday morning I was walking Ella and the wind was so bitterly cold (yes, for the AZ desert is was--your blood thins out, you know), and I said to myself, you need a cowl. I do have a scarf that I wear, but...hmmm...how do I put this...you doggie moms will know what I'm talking about here...when you have to pick up the doggie poop (they all do it) the scarf seems to unwind and, well, you know....so, anyways, hopefully problem solved here.

Pattern: Darkside Cowl.
Yarn: Cascade 220 wool in pale pink (had in stash and have about 1/4 of a skein left).
Modifications: None. I did do three reps and then rows 1 and 2 of the pattern.
Now these are, of course, two more dumpling bags. I made them for my mom and MIL for Christmas, and just now (sorry) uploaded the picture. The blue one is for my mom and the pink my MIL. Both use Cascade 220, the blue is a heather which felted differently than the non-heathered, but came out just as nice.

Hope everyone has a great second week of the new year! {Going to get a new mouse and keyboard today, this one is sticking quite badly.}

1:35pm AZ time: got new keyboard and mouse---much, much, much better!
