I steamed block my Flora Cowl because I wanted to wear it this past weekend. Later, I will wet block it. However, a steamer, which I don't own, would have worked wonders. I do like how the leaf sections in the pattern add texture.
I did knit a beret awhile ago that is almost the same colour as the cowl. So much so that, luckily, I can wear them together.
I loved how this pattern meandered along. Since it's not that wide, it was easy and quite quick to knit a section. I'd like to knit another cowl like this using a different pattern, or maybe I'll get inventive and fashion one of my own. Raverly project page here.
* The Flora Cowl comes from the first issue of the Making magazine. I am thinking of knitting a hat from the magazine and there are great sweater patterns in the first issue too.

And a few more colourful fall pics...

| An orange Sumac. Usually they turn red. |

| So many berries for the birds. Good! These ones are especially beautiful. | | | |

| Crab Apples on the drawing board. |

| Twins | |
 |
| A feast for the eye. |
Next, a few pics from Pumpkin Inferno. What a spectacular show! The pictures could be clearer but it was scary and dark. Excuses, excuses. ;-) Actually, these pics are from last year. I hope to go this weekend.

| BOO! |
Have a safe and a Happy Hallowe'en!
