Named for those crazy beautiful vertical rock formations along the Hudson. A cushy chunky cowl knit from 1 skein each of Silk Garden Chunky and Misti Alpaca Super Chunky (50/50 alpaca-wool).

The mixed weights, chunky and even chunkier, create a nice 3 dimensional texture to the fabric, it almost looks woven, especially in the decorative rounds near the top. A great last minute gift. Especially for yourself if the weather has been cold & bitter. Ask me how I know.
It looks good around your head- if you had abundant hair, it'll flow out the top. I couldn't quite pull it off for the photos, but when I find a model who can, I'll add it in, OK?
Fun fact: Silk Garden Chunky is so much softer than it's skinnier Silk Garden kin. I don't know why, but it's true.

Hi Gale - the link to your lovely new pattern doesn't seem to be working. We just gave a big hunk to Dox w/o Borders, but before I read your blog. Hope that counts.
Thanks for the pattern (when the link is back!).
So sorry! The link is back and reattached to the pattern now. W Enjoy! Let me know if you knit it.
NICE!! I didn't even know there was a silk garden chunky, now that the Yarney isn't carrying Noro. I may have to pay full price. And I did make extra to MSF.
Fab! At first glance, my eyes read it as double crochet. I love that it stands up so you can duck your chin down into it, yet it doesn't appear to strangle one's chin in the least.
Plus, with this in my queue I feel totally innocent about adding single skeins of chunky yarn to my stash. :-)
So fun! It looks great -- love the colors you chose. Thanks Gale!!
Fantastic colors....excellent use of yarn textures!!! What a great design!
Beautiful colors! Lovely and all sorts of positive adjectives!
Nice. Or as my sixth graders say about something they like, "Sick."
I love cowls. I'm wearing a big tube of leftover Misti Alpaca Sock right now.
Ooooh, Oooooh, Ooooh!!! That is fantastic!! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
You have such keen color sense.
What length circular needle--16"?
Great!!! love the combination!

love the colors and chunky yarns.
It's cold and rainy here and would be perfect for today!
Cozy looking! And I'm crazy about your colors.
Looks like another perfect weapon in my arsenal against winter...
