Drawstring Lace Cowl

A little thank you gift for my cousin's wife, the drawstring lace cowl.  Knit in Vickie Howell's Sheep(ish) in Espresso(ish), which is a super-soft acrylic/wool blend.  I suspect it would pill quite a bit if it was use for something like mittens, but it should be fine for a cowl.

I really like the drawstring -- and pom poms! -- since I always tend to futz too much with cowls to get the top part to drape right.
