I have just one FO this month.
It is Song of the Sea cowl by Louise by Louise Zazz Bangham. I used a skein of Tosh Pashmina in the colourway Forestry. In reality, it is a bit darker than the photo suggests but just as lovely. The yarn is a merino, silk cashmere blend and although it didn't seem particularly special when I was knitting with it, it softens up beautifully and the fabric has a lovely drape. Rich brought this yarn back from a work trip to Philadelphia last year. Lucky me!
I left out a repeat of the tiny waves due to concerns about not having enough yarn but I had 10g left over so would have had enough. Pashmina is listed as sport weight but my skein seems to be quite light. The pattern is written for 4-ply and I went down two needle sizes from the suggested size and my gauge was pretty much spot on.
