Risoni Bias Scarf

Pattern by Kristin Ford

[but I might start over and do this differently.   I cast on too many stitches]

I also really would like to start the Risoni Triangle by Janet Avila.   (free on Ravelry).   Now that I have the skeins needed (of Risoni), I'm looking forward to making an asymmetrical triangle.
