I've always loved knitting fun textures using only knits and purls. Partially because it was something I could figure out early on, partially because it appeals to my love of checking off lists (one row at a time) and partially because it looks more complicated than it really is.
I saw the Darkside Cowl hanging on the wall when I went to class and wanted to give it a shot. It's a pretty close fitting cowl, not one of the trendy ones now that are super bulky and huge. I think it would be great for active things, hiking, skiing, running, though I haven't exactly tried that yet...
It's great for every day too... pretty and totally reversible. The one thing I'd do differently is make sure to cast on and bind off extra loosely, as one edge is tighter than the other and just a tiny bit difficult to pull on. Really no biggie, though.
