with all this january cold and wind, you might tiring of the same old rotation of scarves.

or possibly (like, ahem, me) you never really got around to sorting out your warm woolies and are making do with a rather flimsy fall scarf (though you never thought it was, back in october).

if your own comfort fell victim to december gift knitting, i think you are well within your rights to take advantage of the holiday weekend just about to begin—time to put your feet up and indulge in a couple of afternoons or evenings filled with selfish knitting.

this trendy little accessory cowl is just the thing—fun and quick enough to complete in an evening or two, warm and cuddly enough to fit the bill for outdoor wear, and—if you haven’t ventured into color knitting yet—a neat little gateway project to introduce yourself to a new skill.

glass tower, in size small (shown here) or large (to wrap twice or wear long) can be knit in any combination of two natural shades or dyed colors of DK weight yarn that you desire.

ours is knit in two shades of stone soup DK—travertine and river rock—which has a soft, flannelly surface, but would be equally handsome in kent DK, breakfast blend DK, or Confection Sport.

erica put together a kit which may be purchased in size small or large and includes the pattern plus your choice of two yarn shades.

that’s bound to make someone you know happy!

many thanks to our friends darpan and kedric for giving this release such a handsome look.
