jehnepenne’s Almost Famous Cowl [Review & Giveaway]

il_fullxfull.94357082

jehnepenne also known by her given name, Jenni Ashcroft, is a Texan mom who has taken her love for knitting and turned it into a fashionable business.  She specializes in unique knitted goods as well as salvaged wood designs.  Amongst her designs is a piece that I absolutely fell in love with upon first glance, the Almost Famous Cowl.

This cowl is designed to keep you warm in the Fall and Winter seasons.  It’s chunky yet remarkably light to the touch, making it easy to keep you warm and looking chic regardless of the time of day or outfit you are trying to pair it with.  Each one is also handmade and can be made in any colorway of your choice.  In fact, when sending the review item, jehnepenne asked me what my signature colors were, and then took the reigns to design a piece that was one of a kind for me.

Each of these cowls are made of an acrylic/wool blend and are machine washable.  No matter if you indicate the cowls to be for personal use or as a gift, the packaging is beautiful.  It comes ready to gift, literally, with a ribbon tied gift bag and colorful tissue paper.

As you can see from the multiple photos, there are multiple different ways that you can wear the cowl, either tucked into your favorite peacoat or loose around your neck, as shown above.  You can also pull the cowl up over the lower half of your face, to protect you from the cold or maybe the swine flu?

    I like the 'look' of the garment but I wonder if it has the hot feeling you can get with those types of scarves during the day. I can definitely see getting one for my winter trips to Chi-town though.
