While travelling in Italy last year, mostly by train, I had some knitting with me. I had done the lace and beads to replace the nupps in Annis, a free pattern from Ravelry, before leaving home. The thread is some very fine handspun merino plied with even finer commercial cashmere. The whole wrap took about 20gms leaving me with, oh, I don't know, maybe enough for 4 more wraps! It looked so awful and small when I finished I threw it in a corner and forgot about it. At Majacraft Camp I was admiring a friends wrap and she suggested I should start with Annis. After sharing the story she encouraged me to block and I'm so pleased she did. Its like warm nothingness around the neck.
Edit: I did change the pattern slightly by adding garter stitch areas to the lace edge and working the crescent in garter stitch.
