Chevron Cowl CAL

I started the chevron cowl crochet a-long.  The cowl is a design by Sheryl Thies in Tunisian crochet. I have several of her books and I like her designs, besides, it is a Tunisian crochet along - they do not appear very often.
The Crochet along is sponsored by Interweave Crochet Me and the location is here the pattern is in a free e-book that you can download at the Chevron Cowl Crochet along site.  I am using Filatura  Lanarata's Fashion Toes.  I used it for a vest and it is a joy to work with.  I did my swatch (which also gives you an idea of what the pattern will be like), started the scarf and I have 3 rows done.  So I am in line with the projected dates.  It is a nice pattern - and I am not that fond of the ripple stich
