My chilly neck is calling out for a cozy little scarf. I really liked the Herringbone Neckwarmer (pattern available here*), and cast on Wednesday night with a skein of Morehouse Merino three-strand that I purchased at Rhinebeck in 2007. The Herringbone pattern is the same one used in the My So-Called Scarf (pattern available here**). A couple of years ago, I tried to make one and found it nearly impossible. Even this time, when writing out the pattern into my traveling notebook, I couldn’t get my head around what the directions were instructing. But I decided to plunge in and just start. And lo, it made sense once I started knitting.
It's coming along well, and should be keeping me warm very soon. Now I need to shop for buttons...
*The comments at the end of the pattern were very helpful in figuring it all out.
**And it’s in Dutch, too!

That's really nice. I love the colors too. Thanks for linking the pattern. I'd like to make one too. I love it.
Very pretty colors. And they look great in that pattern stitch. Looking forward to seeing your button choice.
I remember the first time I was making that pattern. It took me a bit to wrap my mind around the whole thing, but well worth it in the end.
It's looking good!
