This cowl is a companion piece to the Liminality Hat and is an exploration of the experience of embodying a liminal space. The psychological process of change, and the uncertainty that one feels in the process of becoming and the sense of calm and knowing that slowly begins to emerge. For me, this process, or journey, is metaphorically categorized by steps or the idea of crossing a bridge.
I chose geometric images that allude to staircases and bridges, in order to embody these ideas, along with contrasting colours - dark blue and silver, as an expression of the clarity, the inner light, that emerges as part of the change.

Thank you for all your kindness and support, it has helped kept the dream alive and the fire of creativity burning, I appreciate it so much!

Two sizes: 1 (2). The cowl measures 67cm (76cm) / 26” (30”) in circumference and 32cm / 12.5” in height. The width of the cowl is easily adaptable by adding multiples of 16 stitches.
