Ships and Seasides cowl

In the Tiny Owl knits group there sometimes is a KAL ( knit a long) for a certain pattern. This summer it is the ships and seaside cowl. I was gifted the pattern by my owlie friend winterfi. The yarn it is made in is the Rowan Kid classic. It is really soft and luxurious.

The knit was a nice one, really easy but enough color switches to keep me going (oh, let me just finish this color block... and another..) It knitted up really fast and I learned a new trick: kitchener stitch :) Superb way to finish things!

I'm not too sure if I like the pink/ purple side on me... maybe this cowl will be gifted so I can make another (Iwantzanodder) for myself.
There already is yarn waiting for a kidsilk haze version... :)
