Notes

Stash yarn from Romni Wools spoke to me as I dreamed of a white Christmas that decided not to appear. I love the loft of the yarn and the organic cotton coziness. When winter finally did roll around I was ready!

The unique shape of the cowl completely covered my nose and kept frost bite off even while walking Puddles in less than 7 degree F temps. The cable design enabled easy breathing despite the completely covered pathways. I love the cowl so much I removed it from my sample bin in order to keep it for my own use :-).

RELEASE DAY photos!!! We are in a rather nasty winter storm - rain, sleet, hail, high winds, and finally snow. I’ve gotten at ton of wear out of this set and particularly loved wearing it on release day during Puddles constitutional. Despite the whipping winds, I stayed cozy warm :-).

Having worn and washed this set many times since completing it, I’m impressed with how the sprout holds up. It is still as lofty as the first time!
