last night I was on FB with my cousin
she has scleraderma and really suffers in cold weather
she asked me if I knit headbands and showed me a link - said they can be worn around the neck as well - to make a long story short - as we chatted I invented a neckwarmer for her on my needles.. started at 12.52 am finished by 2.30 am.. what fun! posting pics as the neckwarmer grew!
today I sew the buttons on and tomorrow it leaves not so sunny italy for cold, cold maryland!

will write out pattern (super easy) and post soon
