Saving
I been saving this yarn for quite awhile since I brought it from Hipknits, I love the colour and the yarn is so soft that I don't want to waste on a project that I don't got to wear in hot weather. When I saw Montego Bay Scarf from Interweave Summer 2007. I know it is the right one and I wanted make it slightly bigger like a stole so I could wear it over camisole.
However things didn't turn out as I planned...to start, I increase co sts, change the gauge and minus the fringe. Half way through I realized that I'll never make it to the require length, but it is so nice I don't have a heart to frog it. Than I tried to stretch it when block hoping I could archived the right length but no luck..still a bit short to wrap around like a stole. Is still look good as it is, just that I have to save it for my next trip to Europe.
Pattern: Montego Bay Scarf - Interweave Summer 2007

Found your Anouk on Ravelry and followed it here. It's exactly what I've been looking to knit for my daughter! Glad you decided on the color change - I probably would have passed this pattern over if I hadn't seen your wonderful version!
