Sneaking in: a quick knitting project

I'm not quite sure how, but right after Christmas I managed to knit a few things. I posted the bough hat (here), but I was waiting to post this project until after I knew my mom had gotten it for her birthday and I know she reads my blog. (Hi, Mom!)

I was taken with this pattern called "Final Frost" from Cozy Knits, a great book I got for Christmas. I love that it can be a chunky cowl or a capelet. The name of the pattern seems appropriate as it's something you'd wear toward the end of winter when it's getting warmer but there's still a bit of a chill in the air. I might have to make another one for myself.

Joel took a couple photos for me before I sent it off to Mom.
