mikan snood : : intermediate knit scarf

I knit this cowl scarf (also known as a "snood" - who knew?!) in November and I like it quite a lot!  It's the "Mikan Snood" pattern - found here.  I usually don't like knitting scarves because I get bored, but this pattern was difficult enough that it didn't bore me, and easy enough that I could do it while "watching" football, etc. 

 I used Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica in Marigold.  More details on the pattern here on my Ravelry page!

My only criticism is that at first it felt like this thing was going to swallow my head because it's SO LARGE.  But that just makes it super warm and cozy.  Totally recommend this project!
