I’m using a stich from my Guide to Needlework, and hoping the scarf makes it somewhere.

YES! Perfectly fits with CoMC this month (silk and lace!)!

CO22 (or multiple of 7 plus 8)
Row 1(WS): K2, P1, P2 *yo, ssk, K1, K2tog, yo, P2* P1, K2
Row 2 & 4: K1, K2tog, yo *K2, P5* K2, yo, ssk, K1
Row 3: K2, P1, P2, *K1, yo, sl 1, K2tog, psso, yo, K1, P2* P1, K2
When you get to the last row, the bind off row, bind off in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls), and don’t yo nor decrease. Try to BO on a row 2 or 4.

3/3/10 - A little concerned that this isn’t going to be long enough to go around the neck… because I’ve used quite a bit of yarn and have less than 6” O.o

5/3/10 - It has been established that I absolutely stink at estimating the amount of yarn left in a yarn cake. I’m well over a foot, and I’ll have another 6” at least out of the end of this mini-skein…

6/3/10 - What do you know? I got a yard mini-scarf out of the thing. Blocking now (wet silk smells worse than wet alpaca).
