Stash busting "Fern Cowl"

In between commissions and madly crocheting exhibition pieces ,
I sometimes need to escape and crochet something for myself.

February 2011 edition of Inside Crochet was just what was needed,

and I was inspired to use some of my stash to create

 Claire Montgomerie's gorgeous Fern Cowl.

My version is crocheted using Rowan's  Felted Aran Tweed,

 finished with a crochet corsage.

Edit: There are some errata for this pattern , which I believe will be available in the next issue of the magazine
