A while back I was gifted a skein of Natasha’s wonderful sport weight merino, in my favourite colourway she has ever produced: Robin’s Egg. I needed a one skein project, and decided to make a pretty little cowl for this fall.
Pattern: Burnished Leaves Cowl
Yarn: Unplanned Peacock Sport, about 0.7 balls.
This yarn is soft but durable, and feels wonderful around my neck.
I think it has just the right texture for showing off the lacey leaf pattern.
I have some fingering weight in the stash as well, and I am thinking of making some gloves to match. I think they will go well with my white winter coat.
As usual, when the photo shoot involves my sweetie behind the camera, laughter ensues. I am looking forward to cooler temps so I can try it out without sweating.

Too. Hot. For Cowl.
And in this heat and humidity, glove is a four letter word.
Having said that….. nice knitting! And cooler heads will prevail. Along with cooler temperatures.
