The Santa Ynez Cowl is a companion piece to the Chalk Hill Mitts pattern in Winery Knits. Have you seen the movie Sideways? The wineries Miles and Jack visit are mostly in the Santa Ynez valley, near Santa Barbara. This area is known for Pinot Noir, Syrah, and other varietals.
Here are some fun links to explore about Sideways. We’ve actually not gone wine tasting here for awhile, and these links are making me want to go!
