Originally I knit up this pattern using Knit Picks Galileo, but the cowl was too wide and I wanted to re-do it. I wanted to spin some of the new merino/mohair roving I had just gotten processed at the mill where I work, so I decided to spin some of it into sport-weight yarn for this cowl.

| A bad picture, but here is the cowl in progress. |
As I was taking pictures of the cowl, I couldn't manage to get a good one using either a mannequin or myself, but my dog Abby made a great model, so I decided to name the pattern after her.
 |
| I just didn't like how the cowl looked on the mannequin. I won't even post the terrible picture of myself wearing it! |

I hope you enjoy the pattern, I really like how it came out. Handspun yarn for this project can be found in my Etsy store, and the pattern is listed on Ravelry. Please let me know if you find any errors, I'm still a new designer!
