Starlings Cowl - by Rosemary Drysdale
2 Skeins worsted weight yarn in contrasting colors
US size 10 24 inch circular needle
Starlings were deliberately introduced to the US by the American Acclimatization society in 1890, when 60 birds were set free in New York's Central Park. Today they can be found throughout the US and most of Canada and Mexico. On Long Island winter evenings, thousands form murmurations - a shifting airborne shape of whispering wings and many-voiced calls. No fair isle skills are necessary: This cowl's easy to work slip stitch color pattern evokes the starlings' winter plumage of light dots tipping dark feathers.
