It’s often hard to discern the temperature in January by simply looking out the window. It can be very deceiving – a nice warm taupe color takes over the woods, a sunny and clear bluebird sky…surely it can’t be that cold! (Spoiler alert, it is that cold.) Despite the chill, I do find the contrast between the woods and sky quite lovely and inspiring. I created this cowl with that in mind, and it’s quite warm too!
