I have been knitting this cowl in spite of 80 degree weather, the yarn is so pretty and is a combination of silk and wool with a wonderful sheen. It isn't very soft though and it is a thick and thin yarn (not exactly sure of the terminology) that would not hold up well to a garment, hence the cowl, I will have about 3 hanks left - any ideas? I am hoping that when I wash it - the yarn will soften - we shall see.

The colors of the cowl are beautiful.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Perhaps I've never seen Bird-of-Paradise plants growing, because I hadn't ever noticed how similar in shape the leaves are to the flowers. Interesting!
Not snowbound yet, but enjoyed the Bird-of-Paradise anyway.
Love seeing the pictures of your family.
Your great nieces/nephews look like they're having fun there.
Beautiful colors in your cowl. What yarn is that?
