Felted Ruffle Button Cowl with Satin Flowers

The supplies before the project is startedDSCN2476
Here is the start of this project.  I am making this with 100% lambs wool in the ombre color rosewood which has shades of pink, dark pink, tan, and brown.  I have not yet purchased the button that will hold this together because I want to see how much the button hole shrinks after felting.  Once completed I will sew three burnt edge satin flowers with buttons in the middle.  I will make one big pink flower and two flowers either one tan and one brown or two brown ones (I have not yet decided).
The Cowl about halfway though knitting it

I am about halfway though knitting the cowl.  After it is knitted it will then be felted so that there will be no stich definition.

The cowl is now all knitted and ready to be felted.
After Felting:

The cowl is now all done felting.  All I need to do now is sew a button on one end and make the satin flowers.  I decided to make on big pink flower with three tan buttons in the middle and little brown flowers with a tan button in the middle of each one.  The button to hold the cowl together will either be tan or brown (I still need to purchase the button).
