Rios - One skein two ways

Malabrigo Rios is a gorgeous hand-dyed, machine washable, worsted weight merino from Uruguay.  Gorgeous stuff, it is - and incredibly versatile.  Lynne and Mary have both been playing with it to see what they could come up with for a fabulous one-skein project.  Mary knit up a lacy little scarf from a free pattern called Arroyo. 

Lynne has been crocheting with Rios and created this great ribbed scarf.  For some reason, guys love this fiber, and I think this would be a really nice scarf for any men on your holiday list.
