I would love to try this yarn for a cowl or fingerless mitts!

I would knit a very special neck shawl for a young neighbor about to graduate high school next month. I’ve taught her to knit, and now am teaching her to crochet. She has also learned to recognize quality yarn and beautiful colors, and I know she would appreciate this gift.
April 17, 2017
I think that yarn, that beautiful, yummy yarn is beckoning me to knit one of those large circle sweater coats. It would be just so luscious.
April 17, 2017
As soon as I can get my needles on a skein of Dos Tierras, I plan to make a lovely pair of mitts. Just the thing for overly air conditioned offices in summer!
