Softly pink.
It has a few flaws, to be expected from a rank beginner, but I'm hoping that the friend I'd giving it to won't mind. With a cowl, though, when you wear it, all flaws disappear...

Still sunny, but very cold.
I have an overnight guest, my lovely Genie-dog, arriving this evening while her people move house tomorrow. Thankfully I won't have to walk her until tomorrow morning.

Another cowl finished. I used a thinner yarn on the thick needles and it gave a lacy effect.

 This time, knit one/purl one worked, i.e. it looks right.
I bought two skeins of wool, one purple and one red, enough to make a short cowl. The wool is from Italy, distributed by a Canadian company, purchased in California. So I guess you could say it's an international cowl...
