Fresh Bite Scarflet

I still have most of a skein of Havasu left and trying to decide what to do with it. The problem is, I can't get any more of it. I have to be able to work with what I have without adding to my stash. The most logical use of the yarn would be a cowl or neck warmer-- small quantities required and would make a set with the gloves. Which brings me to the second issue: I refuse to invest in another set of needles just to do some stash busting and a cowl would require circular needles in a size I don't already have-- so it needs to be done on straight needles. Soooooo a button-up neck warmer it is. (ahhh the logic.) Rebecca Hill's "Fresh Bite Scarflet" looks to be a good match for what I want. No additional investment, appropriate yarn required, would look damn cute with the fingerless gloves.

Then again, I'm intrigued by the idea of creating my own pattern, imitating the actual glove pattern. That could be damn cute too. We'll see.
