I made 4 cowls. Each in a different color. One was already wrapped and given before I could take a picture, but here are the other 3.
I found the pattern through ravelry (did you guys know about this site? It's awesome!) You have to create an account but its way worth it. I found this pattern on it and got knitting. It was my first time ever knitting from a pattern and required some help from a coworker in figuring it out. I made mistakes and none of them are perfect, but overall I'm pretty happy with the turnout. I did one big button on three of them and the three smaller on just the one. Just because. :)
Most of them came paired with hot chocolate truffles. No pictures of them because mine didn't come out looking pretty, but if you'd like the recipe you can find it here. They taste good- mine just don't look nice.
I paired the one I had to mail with homemade cheese crackers instead. They came out looking nice and tasting delicious. Check out full instructions here. My additions/changes are that I did all butter instead of a T. of shortening and I salted before they went in the oven. My other note is that they taste better fresh out of the oven when rolled thicker and taste better the next day when they are thinner rolled.
