This cowl is a celebration of heritage and friendship, it is inspired by by home town - which is called the City of Roses, and of the friendship that my knitting and design has brought into my life.

It’s a special friend’s birthday today and she often sends me pictures of the most beautiful flowers from her garden, this cowl is a reminder of the importance of friendship and finding joy in the beauty around us.
