Located in the hills above Kelowna, BC, Myra Canyon is a beautiful and historic section of the Kettle Valley Railway, originally built by hand at the turn of the last century. This impressive landmark is now a world-famous hiking/cycling trail, highlighted by two tunnels, eighteen trestle bridges, and breathtaking views.

Staying warm has never looked so good! This cozy cowl is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe, with its squishy garter borders and all-over texture. The trestle-inspired twists are worked without a cable needle, making this cowl the perfect introduction to cable knitting.
