    I don't follow pattern. I "experiment". It doesn't usually turn out well, LOL !!!

    What I want to make is something much less bulk, just hugging the neck, without constricting it, hehe. Far less material. I need it to be under the jacket or hoodie, I can't work out there in the cold with something big and fluffy around my neck, esp. since there would be hay pieces all over at the end..

    That Afghan is cool, but yeah, no way could I do that. Even a shawls bores me after a bit. Plus I have to many pets and therefore some pet hair flying through the air at times. It would be a nightmare to keep this clean and pretty looking, I think..

    I will definitely make pictures and now I'm gonna hop over to knitpicks..sigh. LOL

    Yeah so basically a neck sock, like you were saying. :-) So basically a turtleneck without the attached shirt.

    Haha, exactly !!! Being a bit wider in the front, so it goes down the front a bit. With a easy open and close, like a button or two perhaps? So no need to knot it in front (to much bulk) plus may add a bit of pretty plus holding it closed.

    I told ya, its just like it pops in my head. Its always such great ideas and then I try to make it out of thin air, and its not quite what I envisioned

    Then I go back to making socks. LOL

    Hey, we should design it and call it "Neck socks" and patent it !!! LOL

    I know of other women who cannot stand the bulk of scarfs and shawls and it either pulling on their hair or having their hair stick straight up behind it.

    Solution: Neck socks !!!

    I was thinking, you could make it for the neck, but in order to fit around the head to get it on, it has to also fit the head-- so a headband too, or ear-warmer? Multi-purpose!

    What size yarn would you use? It would be a great way to have your mom use up your leftover bits and it would take her a long time. I'm thinking it would be at least twice as big around as a sock.

    Dang...

    Headbands that cover the ears are a GREAT idea !! I would totally use sock wool. I find it warm and not so bulky/scratchy like other wool.

    The one around the neck would be open like a "mini shawl". So you could put it around your neck and then button it or close it some way in front. Other then having to knot it or have tons of extra material hanging down.

    Somehow made so that the front is a bit wider (longer?) so it covers a bit down the neck.

    I need to make an illustration. LOL

    Re: Calling all knitters!

    So....here is my adaption of the fingerless glove. This is just a experiment, since I didn't have the right yarn left. This yarn has cotton in it, so it's hard and the knitted items turn bigger with less stretch.

    If I make them again I would choose really soft and warm sock yarn perhaps with some alpaca or mohair mixed into the yarn for warmth without bulk.

    I finally did get my new yarn in, too. Pics of that in next post.
