I'm finally getting the hang of this scarf. I knitted 5-6 rows in my last attempt (last post) and end up ripping it. I actually cut the yarn and threw it away in disgust. I decided at that point to give it one last try and here I am at row 25. The stitch markers helped tremendously. But the pattern decreases shifts the center repeats by 1 for the first 10 rows - which makes for very slow knitting. I'm having fun with it now however. I'd say once you're past the inital setup rows, you'd be fine. I'm knitting this using size 5 needles since the Knitpicks yarn is thinner than the yarn listed in the pattern.
