Miss Marple Collar

A few months back I was shopping and found an adorable knit collar.  Of course my first thought was, "You want what for that?!  I can make it." And I did.

But then one of my readers mentioned that she had seen this same collar called a "Miss Marple Scarf."  So after a bit of hunting, I found this great free pattern off ravelry.  Armed with an official pattern this time, I had to make another one! 

I found a nice, medium blue yarn with tiny sequins scattered throughout.  The pattern directions were very easy to follow, utilizing mostly knit stitches except for the short ribbed sections.  If I were to make yet another one, I'd knit it just a bit longer in length and narrower in width.  But as it stands, it's very cozy.

This was the perfect project to pick up in the evenings while I was watching tv or sitting by the woodstove.  Next up on the Handwork To Do List are a few knitted can coozies.  I love knitting in winter, but I'm starting to dream about summer!
