My next pattern pick from my to-be-cast-on-right-now list is this beautiful cowl, Fathom Five Shipwreck Cowl, by Raven Knits Design. The cowl is inspired by the Fathom Five National Marine Park in Ontario, Canada, where the designer is based. From the Ravelry pattern page, Raven Knits Design says "This cowl pattern is inspired by the rippling shoreline waves and silently swirling currents that will rise in a moment’s furious storm to waylay unsuspecting ship’s captains and drive their vessels into the unforgiving rocky islands north of Tobermory."
The Old Shale pattern is one I like very much, I've used it in designs myself, and it looks lovely in this pretty, feminine cowl.
The pattern calls for light fingering weight yarn, and I plan to use this rich purple Wollmeise yarn.

The yarn is Wollmeise Lace Garn, which is more of a heavy fingering weight, despite its name, and the colourway is Lavendel.
This cowl will be for me, and I hope it will make a perfect extra layer at the top of lower-necked sweaters in place of a scarf.

If you like this design, there is a matching beret pattern, Fathom Five Grotto Hat, also available from Raven Knits Designs.
