I purchased a cowl pattern on ravelry that I had to have even though I felt it was a bit pricey... The design detail looked amazing and I thought it was worth it....

After several attempts at starting the project correctly I finally am on my way... The yarn I am using is Smooshy (Dream in color)... So far though I can see the stitch pattern develop, it does not look great and I think blocking it in the end will do the trick... here is a peak at my wip!!!
