I think it was because October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there were pink things everywhere, that the pink yarns just started saying "Pick me!"
First I found some lush lovely roving from Woolgatherings in yummy berry colors. I spun it into some bulky 2-ply. I'm going to pair some of it with a sweet eyelash yarn to make a OOAK scarf.
Then I found a lovely mohair sweater in a second hand store. It fit really weird, but the fiber begged to be incorporated into a cowl. I want to pair the fine mohair yarn with a worsted weight or bulky weight yarn for a contrast in textures, but I'm not sure yet if what I see n my head can really be done.
I want the lace to be like a collar on the cowl, but it has no body, so I may be dreaming.
Yesterday I finished this pretty pink neckwarmer that I can finish in two different ways. I think I'll show it on Etsy done like this:

and I'll show another photo with it finished like this:

Which way would you prefer to wear it?

Lovely colors! I look forward to seeing your finished projects.
lovin' that pink neckwarmer... and the buttons are to die for!
I'd definitely wear it with the buttons on a slant -- looks more elegant to me.
