Pattern: Crofter's Cowl by Gudrun Johnston (The Shetland Trader) (pattern is on the sidebar as a free download)
Yarn: Brown Sheep Nature Spun - (245 yards/100gms) Blue Fog - I used maybe half the skein. I'm thinking of knitting another one with the leftovers, so that will tell the tale
Needles: Size 8 circs
Mods: None. I actually followed the pattern as written. (Yeah, yeah, I think it's a miracle, too)
I'm very happy with this. I want one for myself, now. Maybe in purple...
Though I'd be a lot happier if I had remembered last night that I had put this in to soak so I could block it. The plan was to let it dry overnight and ship it today. Unfortunately, I went off to bed, completely forgetting the fact that it was still sitting in a bowl of water.
Crap.
Another day behind.

I know the feeling.... I'm overnighting my niece's stuff tomorrow, just got it to me in the mail today!
Love that cowl! I started a Crofter but the yarn I chose was too bulky and it didn't look right. And wow...those gloves!
