It's time to win something super awesome with the help of Lorna's Laces and Joji Locatelli!

I've been knitting up Joji Locatelli's Three Color Cashmere Cowl, and I want you to be able to do the same. Lorna's Laces is gifting three lucky winners three skeins of Shepherd Sock of your choice to knit up this pattern, and Joji is giving each winner a pattern to make a cowl of their own. All you have to do is take a look at the nearly-solids and multicolors to choose three colors you'd use and tell me which ones in the comments below. You can choose any combination of multis and solids (all solids, two solids and one multi, or whatever you'd like). Just leave your comment by Monday June 29 at noon EST and you could be one of the three winners.
This is our Lorna's Laces wall at the shop- hundreds of colors of Shepherd Sock, all in one place! It's quite a stunning wall in person.
Thanks for joining in the 10th Anniversary FUN!
Great cowl! It's hard to chose, but I think Cedar, Dobson, and Buffalo Grove would look good together.
