Pretty colorwork cowls are a most welcome (and warm) sight: Flying Geese by Peg Blechman is a lovely example of a piece destined to become a well-worn favorite. The interlocking triangles of the classic Flying Geese pattern look stunning in two shades of Owl. Choose two contrasting shades like Huckleberry and Cement (shown) or go for a subtler effect with colors that are similar in value. Decisions, decisions.
