The Pink Grapefruit Cowl and Mitts pattern is now for sale!! This was the exclusive pattern I developed last spring for the 2011 Tanis Fiber Arts Year in Colour (my month was May).Now that 2011 is over, the pattern is publicly available for $4 (you get both the cowl and mitts patterns together in the download).
Included in the pattern is a video tutorial link on how to 'unravel' the dropped stitches portion, so you can see exactly how it works for the cowl. The mitts include two sizes.
This is my first time adding a not-free pattern to Ravelry, so I wasn't sure how to link both the Cowl and Mitts. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know!
The cowl is more of a necklace style, and is surprisingly warm and wearable. I know it looks more decorative than warm but somehow it just works and is indeed cozy (although I imagine if you use cotton yarn, not so cozy). I knit it again later that summer in blue, using a full skein (220 yards):
I really love both the cowl and mitts, and I hope you do too!

It's beautiful! Congrats!
whoo! exciting! i love the little cowl, it looks like a great last minute knit for someone's birthday or the holidays...
The blue version is really stunning and stylish!
I will be making (attempting to make) this pattern for my first ever KAL! I am very much looking forward to it. I just ordered the yarn and hope it arrives in time to make the KAL deadline, but, no matter--I will make it regardless. Beautiful pattern.
I remember loving this pattern when I saw it -- in both colors/versions. Looking forward to knitting it in the coming year.
I am so excited that you have released this pattern. I still love it since you released it!
this looks sooo cute!
they are very fabulous indeed!!!
Yep, I'm still crazy for this set! I'll certainly be making them for myself!!
Love the blue version!
Congratulations, Julie, on your first "for sale" set of patterns. I love them!
I read about the good news. Wish you very many happy luck with the future baby! Love to read! I have also my knitting blog too. And it is succesfully. Never thought I should had one!!

Wonderful! Great job, Julie. The blue version is my favorite.
Wow, what a gorgeous pattern! I can't believe how well the pink suits you with your hair colour, but it looks perfect :-)
Beautiful and congratulations~
They are beautiful and unique designs! I especially love the cowl...probably drawn to it because it DOES seem more decorative...very stylish! I particularly like the blue version! Congrats!
Oh my goodness I adore that blue necklace cowl! Gosh now I want to make one....

The scarf in particular is very cool, as a novice knitter and crocheter I'm only just starting to think about (my dream of) designing my own patterns. This set is certainly something to aspire to.
I love the blue version, so great for a little added style and comfort. :)
By the way, I gave you the Liebster blogging award:
