FO: quickie cowl

I bought some pretty green and brown yarn on our Baltimore Yarn Crawl a couple of weeks ago.  I cast on later that evening (since I was in a funk about my two WIPs).  And less than a week later, I was wearing a new cowl: I have resisted making a cowl for several years now. I think it’s mostly the name that turns me off!  But cowls are way faster to knit than scarves, and they serve a similar function.  I really like this one.

Some cowls are shaped like a bell or have a button closure, but this one is just a simple, straight tube knit in the round:

It is the Darkside Cowl (free pattern, but Rav link) and it uses the same rib-and-welt pattern that I used for the Pansy Socks and the Plum Pansy Socks.  I really like this stitch pattern. These colors make me very happy, too!
