This is a great pattern, lovely yarn for a cuddly warm result, and you use nearly every inch of yarn.

I got an e-mail from Patternworks a couple weeks before Christmas highlighting this cowl pattern on sale with tye yarn, thought Sarah would like it, forwarded her the e-mai. she picked a color, I ordered the yarn and pattern, it came, and I finished it for Christmas. She wanted a color not on sale, but because the non-hand dye shades are less it worked in my favor. I rarely do this -- but it was a great idea!
