Cowl for Kintea

Last year I knit a cowl from one of my fav books, Last Minute Gifts. It's a really easy pattern knit on circular needles. I used a Rowan blend yarn that has a feel similar to cashmere. A certain member of c-n-c commented on how much she liked it and wanted to knit one for herself. Of course, I bookmarked that comment in the back of my brain and then pulled it out around Kintea's birthday. I knew I wanted a vibrant blue for Kintea but wasn't sure on the yarn. I was thinking a wool blend but what I wound up with really surprised me. The yarn used was bamboo and cotton and it came out just beautiful. Drapes really nicely and the color is vibrant without being too bright. I will take a pic of KB in her cowl and update this post!
