Pattern: Pink Grapefruit Cowl
Yarn: Knitpicks Gloss in 'Dusk'
Needles: 3.5 mm (US 4)
Mods: none.
Notes: I had a skein of KnitPicks Gloss in Dusk left over from 2007, when I was knitting Thermal. I noticed that the colour has been discontinued, which is too bad. I thought it would be the prefect skein to experiment with a bit more yardage, and see how the cowl looked- I used the whole skein (220 yards), and was super pleased with the results. It is like wearing a really stylish necklace. I loved the outfit I was wearing this day (we were at Niagara Falls), and the cowl really made it feel more polished for me. That, and I'm super in love with my vintage wicker purse (Ebay totally came through for me that day). I think I'm going to need a bunch of these cowls in different colours.
This was my favourite photo of the day, I think:

haha! love it!!
Ooo - it's very sophisticated! And I loooove your dress! Great outfit!
you guys are so cute :)
Awesome outfit, the "knitted necklace" definitely completes the look.
Pretty in blue. Great pics.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! Great color and I love the vintage bag too!
Lovely how you can style a cowl right in the middle of summer! You are such an inspiration!
So nice!! I love it. I might have to try it in a bamboo silk blend for summer.
Oh! It's super pretty in blue. I think it looks like a fancy necklace, too. I can't wait to make one of my own.
How sweet and pretty! I love the dress and the belt too!
One word, Julie: AWESOME!
You look so pretty! It is a really beautiful necklace! More like jewelry than a cowl. What a great way to add knits in the summer. Love it!
I love this--you look beautiful and so stylish! It might even convince me to overcome my suspicious of cowls.
So cute. And I love your description of it, as it is a perfect knit necklace. Looks great with your strapless dress.
Can't wait for the pattern release :)
What cute photos! That cowl looks great on you and works wonderfully with that dress.
Julie, I love. love! these pictures. The dress you're wearing is awesome, and I agree. That cowl (color & drape) is such a perfect accessory. Ha! I love the dinosaur picture so much!
So cute! I love the blue color!
Love it! From head to toe--absolutely fabulous. If I can find needle time, I'm going to make one for myself. I am swooning over that dress. Where did you get that dress?
What a clever and great looking cowl! Fantastic photo too ;)
Cute and happy pictures. Love the cowl.
Good thing that velociraptor didn't get your cowl!
I am SO going to check out that pattern. I have just the right yarn for it! Thanks for sharing - love the colours of yours by the way.
(Drum roll please.....) Those velociraptros have great taste!
you look gorgeous, and i love this cowl as a warm statement necklace!
I can see why you felt polished on this day, as always you look gorgeous ! Lovely dress and cowl and that wicker bag is a real find, beware of Velociraptors though ..ahah .D
just lovely and a great blue :)
I love your blue Grapefruit, it is what summer knitting should be - totally wearable!
Love the outfit :)
Dang, girl. You look badass in that first shot :)
That is such a lovely design, Julie, and it looks gorgeous in the steel blue grey! I love your outfit, too!
Hi! I really love this cowl, but it seems the pattern is no longer available. Is there any way I can get it?? Please help!
