Open Fields

I can see the open fields, the tall grass growing wild. I can feel the wind on my face; hear the laughter of a child. I can touch the sunlit waters and the early morning dew. You are such a friendly Manitoba, I'll spend my time with you.~Manitoba children's song. Author unknown.

I enjoy creating designs that use handspun yarn. This cowl pairs 4oz of handspun fibre that will be featured with a single skein of worsted weight yarn that will form the background. A bulky yarn can be substituted for handspun, particularly a yarn that is intended to emulate a hand-spun yarn.

The cowl is designed to be wearable in several ways, as pictured, using buttons to secure it. A design schematic is included that illustrates modes of styling.
