Notes

I signed up for the new Malabrigo Pack when it came out, and this cowl, by the amazing Nina Machlin Dayton was in my final kit.

I am in looooooooooove with how soft and squooshy this yarn is.

Just got yarn wound and cast on for last night, so let’s see how it goes!

The pattern was very easy to follow, and just seemed to flow the entire time.

Sadly, there were several issues with my skein of Natural, including a large section that was unplied and a number of tiny knots, but that didn’t really slow me down much. The skein of Stellar sadly had a couple of similar issues, including a break in the skein, but again, not enough to slow me down!

I flipped my colors and actually used both yarns together in my bind off. Will have to get it soaked and blocked out so I can do some finished photos, but I love how it came out and am hoping the recipient will love it too!
