I mentioned that after I saw Melissa LaBarres Swell Cowl, I cast on one for myself in Spud & Chloë Outer, Sequoia (7205).
My finished Swell in Sequoia.
I think my red Swell Cowl is totally appropriate for the lovey month of February.
This only took me about three days to knit during the work week, so if you are looking for some fun knitting this weekend, I would strongly recommend this project.

Well, we have lots to talk about this week with MAGIC and the Fall Buying well underway.
But, the talk of this week is that this years models for Fashion Week in New York were too young and too thin. They were reported as being boyish and very slender.
Back in 2006 after the death of one fashion model, Anna Carolina Reston, from anorexia, the Council of Fashion Designers of America issued a statement and guidelines for models which included resources for models who have an eating disorder.
While the models for Calvin Klein and other designers look healthy, there are many models who are clearly not taking good care of themselves.
