Lucy Neatby
468 Sea Lettuce Scarf
"A spiralling, frilly, short-row extravaganza in two widths with picots and a modified bind-off method," explains Neatby. It's notable that what sounds like hyperbole from others is just plain fact coming from her. In this painstaking and detailed pattern two widths are offered-- one for DK-and-heavier yarns, and another for Dk/sport/finer yarns-- and the preparation is such that the actual instructions begin on page 4 of 8. There are coloured diagrams and tips throughout, all leavened with Neatby's unique humour: she even explains how to manage to remember things "when knitting on auto-pilot". No particular yarn weight or needle size is specified, so please yourself. A treasure. Une version française est disponible içi.
Lucy's Fast and Loose Modified Bind-Off Method (MP4 VIDEO DOWNLOAD FOR iPHONE) is now available, and she highly recommends it for this scarf.

Has anyone made this (Scarf One) in chunky mohair --specifically Plymouth yarn "Drifting Gardens" whose recommended gauge is 3 stitches to an inch on size 10 and 1/2 needles. This yarn has 82 yards per skein -- any advice on how many skeins needed and if it would work well?
Thank you.

Received the following from Lucy herself:
I'm guessing a bit, but I'd say 2-3 balls. Weigh the scarf after 6". Multiply the scarf length (in units of 6") you want, by the weight of yarn used for 6".
Happy stitches, Lucy
