2009's Lost Projects: Cowl Edition

Here is another edition of my 2009 lost projects. I made six cowls this past year, two of which have already been featured (Sara's Fairisle and the Checkerboard Cowl).

The first cowl, which was actually made last, is a pattern of my own design that I've been calling the "New Beginnings Cowl." A pattern may be posted one of these days.

Looking over these, it has become very obvious to me that I need to break out of the blue family and add some spice into my cowl wardrobe...
