Patterns for Netted Scarves

When I first heard about net scarves, I laughed.  How could netting with all its holes keep your neck warm? I guess the joke was on me.  I made one and, after wearing it, became an advocate for net scarves.  They will keep your neck warm. I also found they are an excellent way to practice a new stitch.

I've been working on remaking Twinkling Star for a few weeks.  I kept letting other things push it out of the way.  It's about 15 inches in diameter, used just over 70 yards, and has 3,675 knots.  I originally made this doily to see if I could make a large five-pointed star.  All the doilies I had seen from my grandmother had smaller points all around the edge of the doily.  

After making the doily designed by Giuseppa Nania last week, I had a hard time sticking to the plain points for this doily.  I kept wanting to decorate the points like she had done.
