A wonderful pattern. Easy to knit, uses little yarn and makes a great scrunchy cowl that folds double for warmth.

Used entire skein plus several inches from another skein to bind off last 10 stitches. (Played “Lazy Yarn Chicken” and lost, not worried because I have additional skeins. If this had been my only skein, I would have weighed how much yarn was consumed by a repeat when I had more yarn left, and would have knit one less repeat.)

Something old: yarn in stash since 2011
Something new: Niagara pattern and Susan’s Extra Stretchy Relaxing Bind-Off
Something borrowed: I borrowed/appropriated this skein from yarn set aside for a shawl. I decided that I would have enough without this one skein…
Something blue: Frog Tree Alpaca Sportweight yarn

My husband and I paused for the photo at left while kayaking on the Niagara River. The bridge in the photo connects Tonawanda, NY and Grand Island, NY (visible in background).
