That is darling!
My mother knitted something like this for me last year.
I love it.
I wish I was closer and you could teach me how to crochet. I've done a couple of things but it's very hard for me to figure out. This is really cute.
Hi Barb, You're a whiz at crocheting. Don't need any neck warmers down here in Florida though. Love your new background graphics here. Hugz!
The cowl is really cute. You did a great job.
Hi Barb -- I am the newest follower of your blog - a "sister in Zion" from Arizona. I love this cowl...I may get the pattern and give it a try. I am looking forward to following your fun blog. Enjoy the rest of the week!
Cute, cute cowl!
It should keep you toasty warm this winter, and in style :)
Thanks for the link, and the how-to's.
Enjoy this beautiful day.

Very beautiful Cowl. You are just good at this. Thanks for the instructions; but what I really need is you to help me. Let's do this one day soon
Love and hugs dear friend!
Hi barb, I do enjoy the cow neck warmers, yours is so lovely I have a black one and it goes with everything. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are doing well, I have been away from blogland trying to finish the renovation from the wall leak. Wishing you a most blessed Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
Sue
