Who doesn’t love the movie “Top Gun”? The action, the drama, the romance…The motif of this cowl reminds me of fighter jets blasting across the sky in a sunset backdrop. Create a background fade with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together or go Maverick and whip out stash yarn as your heart leads you!

There’s something very restorative about water. Especially when it’s filled with the joyful noise of children splashing or water fowl singing.
