scarf exchange

so on Ravelry were doing a scarf exchange...and on my LYS-the knitting bee-'s website they have advertised their yarn of the month--fresco! and along with this they have a free pattern for a basket whip cowl, so im making a heather grey cowl for my secret partner...and then im going to go get myself some more fresco yarn and make one for me!! i LOVE this yarn!!
edit:
i lied, im too in love with this cowl to give it away, i found some other yarn that i think is perfect for my swap partner and am making a lace scarf out of it...picture below
