Here is the almost final form for the earthworm scarf:
I like the way the lace weight sections are transparent, and the earthworm yarn from Milkyrobot was an absolute delight to knit. Every inch was interesting.
I made some kind of gauge error. I am not sure precisely where, but the scarf is not the size I calculated for.
I wore it today, and I found that the particular combination of length and weight doesn’t make a particularly wearable scarf because I don’t like the way it looks draped around my neck and it doesn’t stay wrapped.
I tried crocheting the ends together and making a long loop to go around my neck twice, and I think that is the way I will go with.
I was inspired to try to loop idea by Yokoo‘s cowls like this one.

Ummmm… yes, please! Love the scarf (and just popped over to Amazon to purchase Debbie New’s book thanks to your inspiration!) and have a couple of skeins that have been sitting around for a long time, waiting for inspiration to strike. I’m thinking that this technique will show off a couple of those yarns to their fullest! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
