New pattern alert!  Last week I released a new pattern that is the perfect knit for the greatly anticipated cold weather and upcoming holiday season! The <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sprouting-leaves-cowl">Sprouting Leaves Cowl</a> pattern comes in two sizes (small and large) and will make a terrific knit for yourself or someone you love.  You can knit the smaller version for a cozier and more fitted piece, or the larger version for a squishy more versatile piece that can be converted into a scarf when unbuttoned.  This is a great knit to bust a little of your stash or even to test out a new yarn you've been oogling! See all pattern details below!<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/purchase/grace-akhrem-2/239804"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ravelry.com/images/shopping/buy-now.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
