This is one of those scarves that looks nice in theory, but I'd probably ruin it in practice. It definitely reminds me of the one of Lenny Kravitz fame which I've always wanted for myself, to be honest. Perhaps I can convince a more patient knitter to finish this for me when I, inevitably, stop after the fortieth row.
