After the book came out, I wanted to make sure I'd knit a few things in it before I bought it, and the yarn.
As you can see it's big! I like it close to my neck like this.
However, if you look at the pattern....the colorway is not the same...
Namewise it is, but there is way too much gold/yellow in here. Malabrigo yarns are lovely, soft and colorful. Variations happen in any varigated colorway, but I wasn't expecting this.
However, I think I'll keep it ;) Now to knit a hat to wear with it...you know me, gotta be sorta matchy matchy.

No mods, just knit until the yarn was almost gone.

Whoa! I never would have guessed that was supposed to be the same colorway! I liked it until I looked at the pattern pic, now I just feel a little disappointed. Weird huh? It's not even my knit! I may need therapy :-)
I checked out your new LYS from your link. That looks like a great place!
Pretty cowl!
I like it - the colors look good on you.
I'm jealous. i don't have a LYS anymore.
I am in love with your neckwarmer!!! The colorway, the thickness of that yarn and those buttons! Total love!
Now I want one!
