I did mention this, but wanted to jot down all the details.
The 3-way scarf: the idea was to make a scarf like you can find many places already. A friend at work has one.
If you stretch it lengthwise, it's a regular neck scarf and can be wrapped around your neck at least once, if not twice. If you stick your hands inside the tube, and stretch it widthwise, you can wear it as a neck cowl (and not worry about the ends flying). If you pull part of it over your head, it's a cowl/head covering and neck warmer. (I thought it would look dorky this way, but my coworker thought it would be elegant with the right coat.)
Simple details:
Clover 16" size 15 circulars
N.Y. Yarns "Fluff" in black (couldn't find what I wanted in my LYS, so had to go to Beverly's! It was painful.)
Cast on 25 stitches VERY loosely. Join in the round, being careful not to twist. Knit for a bazillion years, till you're just tired of it and the stretched length is acceptable. Cast off VERY loosely (I used my size 50 Speed Stix). Tie off ends (it sure as heck won't show!).
I am unreasonably pleased with it. No photos as I'm sure it won't photograph well at all, being black.

Thanks for the recipe! I have the yarn you gave me from the last 3-Way scarf. Hm, I guess I need size 15 circulars.
You are certainly welcome to borrow mine. I won't need them till I start on the chocolate brown yarn version, probably this fall.
