You think of as many ways as possible to use it! As much as I loved the chevron scarves, I wanted a slightly quicker project! And this uses just one skein of Socks that Rock (I think I have some of that in my stash!).

I had 1.5 ounces of yarn leftover- plenty to make it a bit longer next time (e.g., cast on 10-20 more stitches) or the ruffles a bit wider (e.g., knit 4 rows, then kfb, knit 4 rows, then kfb).
Thanks Rowan (aka Irishdaisy 3) for modeling!!!
Happy Knitting!!

Now that does rock!
OMG! You did one of those? I hear horror stories of the eternal cast-off! WTG!
Ooooh pretty! What bind off did you use? The K2togtbl one? Mmm. I've hear horror stories of these things too but that's just pretty. Tempted...
Beautiful! Good idea for the excess sock yarn! I'll have to take apeak and see if I have a suitable skien of sock yarn sitting aorund.
Okay, first, is it possible to have too much sock yarn? I'm not so sure about that. Good use of a skein, though. Thanks for the pattern.
Oh Rowan, you randy little sister you! You look so cute! Oh yeah, nice work Irishgirlie, you are my knitting idol. Miss you ladies!!!
Ahhh! My kinda scarf, knit like that anyways ;) So cute, and Rowan is too! I didn't know you had any STR ;) hehehe
Too much sock yarn?! Er, I don't think so.
Congrats on knitting a mile. Long plane rides work wonders on those goals :-)
