Well, Linda? How did I do?
I love this process. I didn't even mind flipping it over and over to go from knit to purl every 4 stitches. I'm not sure I would want an entrelac project much bigger than a scarf, however - then the flipping would get annoying.
But this worked out great. It used up some yarn, and it's an addition to the gift box. It was moving along swimmingly towards a perfect men's gift, but then I hit the patches of bright fuchsia pink. 
I know most men wouldn't mind the touch of pink, and I'm sure most of your menfolk would be fine with it, but please don't suggest I give it to any of the males I know. 
They wouldn't wear it. None of them. At all. Ever. I know this, and I accept it.

And Nancy? Nice to have you back reading!

I'm waiting to do entrelac till I'm ready to learn to knit backwards. I think even on a scarf it would drive me nuts.
I need to find me some friends like you! Lucky girl - the one who receives that beauty!
That's a great looking scarf. And Needles is right, learn to knit backwards, it will save your sanity.
But KnitTech, how do we learn to knit backwards???!!!!

Now that is a nifty scarf!
Nice scarf!!! Learning to knit backwards - now that 's a good goal for 2010.
The scarf is very pretty. I want to learn enterlac one day.
I've seen it done and done well of necessity by a client. I figure the first step is to drop my preconceived idea of what my hands are supposed to do.
