I also happen to love projects that knit up quick and can be done in one rogue afternoon while binging my new favorite show.

On its own with no modifications the Mountain Cowl is glorious, but I was so in love with the color dipped effect I was sure it would be just as beautiful in a neck warmer!Continue Reading
