A Birthday Cowl

Do you remember last year when I made these for my coworker?  Well, she loved them all year long, and I felt so appreciated, and appreciate her friendship so much, that when I saw the fabulous cowl on the cover of Vogue Knitting magazine, I knew I wanted to make it for her.  I chose to make it match the gloves by using the same yarn.

The beautiful cable effect was a bit time-consuming, as was picking up soooo many stitches for the thick ribbed border, but once it was done, you can see that the work was so worth it...the piece isn't large in scale, but is dramatic in just the perfect way for such a fabulous diva of a woman!!!
