That's right, it's a BFF Cowl from Knitty! I think the color is most accurate in this picture:
These are both my parts, albeit in different colors. When I first read the pattern, I mistakenly thought I'd only need one skein for both cowls, but found out from my partner that we would actually need two skeins. Unfortunately, by that time the original color I chose was no longer available at WEBS (at least at that point in time), so I conferred with my partner and chose another, complementary color to hers. Thus the purple I will be sending.
This is the first time I've knit with Fyberspates Luscious Aran, and it really is luscious! I believe it's the inclusion of silk to the already-soft merino. The silk makes it feel a bit smoother and really gives the yarn a glowy sheen. The lace wasn't as challenging as I was afraid it would be (it's been very rhythmic, actually), so I'm trying to finish it before my August deadline and then we'll see about more projects!
