Dots and Dashes Cowl #7

 My instructions for this cowl were: 
"My sister loves color-anything bright would be great!" 
O boy! That really excited me and opened the door on my color choices.

 I chose one skein of Rios with multi-layers of color and found agreeable yarns to use with that theme.

This shows the full length on the drying tiles, wet and pinned. The center section is that theme yarn. Also included are Silky Merino, Rastita, Full of Sheep, Inca Gold,  Ice Merino, and three different colors of Rios. It is super soft and squishy. Just the way I like it.

    I think you are making you own shawl pins, where do you get the safety pins from?

      I did a google search for stitch holders and found a place in China. They took forever to arrive and came in the 4" size instead of the 2.5" size that I ordered. So I wouldn't use them again or recommend them.
