Blink And You'll Miss It

That's how I feel about the last 4 months or so.  






















Once upon a time, I stumbled on the pattern for the Spectral Cowl.  I fell immediately in love and promptly ordered a gradient kit.  This one came from Black Trillium Fibres and is accurately called "Mint."

This cowl was my travel knitting when I went all the way to Australia.  It went on a couple of planes...

it drove on the left side of the road…

and it even saw a kangaroo!


While we were there, I realized my mother-in-law loves bright colors and it never really gets cold enough in Australia for scarves or wool socks or sweaters or hats.  But the night wind is definitely chilly enough for a light cowl.



I finished it up when we got back home and boxed it up just in time for Mother's Day.  We're still not convinced she knows exactly what a cowl is, but she's pretended to like it and I suppose that counts for something, right?
