It is Cat Bordhi's Lacy Moebius Cowl pattern. The cowl was knit on US #10 circular needles with Red Heart Designer Sport in Cocoa and uses less than a skein of yarn. This was such a fun knit. Knitting moebius is addictive. For instructions on how to cast-on a moebius go to Cat Bordhi's you-tube video. It is so cool! One word of warning I did knit this on 60" needles and it was a pain getting the stitches to move around the cable. I also knitted two more on 32" needles and it was even more difficult, definitely use 47" needles. (Something I want for my Birthday!) The cowl knitted up for me 10" by 11" un-stretched. The bind-off is Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off. Cat Bordhi has a you-tube video for that too!
Have a good day!

This past weekend I went to http://www.eknittingneedles.com/ (no this is not spam!) and ordered two complete sets of circular kneedles, 15 pr each, one 30" and one 40". $25/each set, so I should be set. They are bamboo, which I've not knit with before. Hope I like them! It will take awhile to get them shipped down here.
I also found the wool I need cheaper than ordering directly from Lion Brand's site at Knitting-Warehouse.com . I truly hope no one out there sees this and says 'hey, those are rip-off sites, you won't get your stuff!'
I've not knit any cowls. Maybe I'll put it on the list...
I love knitting with bamboo needles! All my yarn is closeouts at a $1.00 per skein otherwise I couldn't afford to knit. I would like to get more into sock knitting but I need to find some really good deals on sock yarn before that can happen. Thanks for the links I will start watching them. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
