Thanks EMNH and HH! EMNH, your sweater sounds incredible and very special.
HH--it's funny, I have the same issue. I'm always a season behind with these scarves; it's only until I see the experts model it am I able to visualize what it will look like tied since I don't live near a store. This particular scarf was one that didn't hit me when I saw it in the scarf booklet, but IRL and tied, it just really worked!
