I especially love the "Aran-Go-Braid" and the ones that you posted, and I think maybe the burgundy dickey looking "Good Investment" pattern is meant to be more functional, like to be warm under a coat? Regardless, I would love to win this book and make some of the really cute cowls from it! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369325577750609468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099017900459007016.post-10007721928087427762011-04-20T05:32:12.029-07:002011-04-20T05:32:12.029-07:00I love cowls!
