After much messing around, I finally, I mean finally made the cowl properly! I now know that the other wool was too fat and too chunky....oh, you already know that right?
Anyway, I called Helen a few times, sent a photo of the partial thing and even though it called for circular needles which I uses, I had to cast the stitches on as if it was straight because the wool would have been stretched. I certainly didn't want it stretched as I already have one that is!
So here it is, and it fits. I now must await cooler weather to wear it as we are still in the mid 40s and low 50s here in Whitby...
I am sewing today, it's a safer venue for me.. have a great weekend everyone!

Ahhh, now I see it ;-) Enjoy your sewing day!
Ah so that is what it is :) I can see putting that on first then the jacket and keeping your neck nice and warm outside in those low, low temps that you have so your neck won't stiffen up from the cold! Cool

Much better and so comfy looking!
