I love making quick projects like cowls. It makes you feel great to finish something and they usually do not require a whole lot of yarn. I love the cabled looking texture you get from just knitting and purling in various spots. This cowl has quite a bit of texture.

Interesting pattern that results in a sharp looking cowl. While it may be quicker, even easier, to walk into a store and buy cowls and scarves, it has none of the satisfaction of knitting them -- and the cost of buying them can be too much to consider sensible
