Toss The Crochet
Looking at my crocheted, left-torquing scarf, I agree with Denise of Needles and Things. She commented that she sees Linen Stitch. And so do I.
In fact, when I first spotted the scarf at the KW Knitters Fair, I saw the crocheted facsimile of Linen Stitch. Knowing that crochet works up much faster than knitting I purchased the pattern. Hah! The best laid plans ...

I have dallied with the linen stitch scarf and a bunch of leftovers too! Mine never made it past the massive end to end cast on.
Can't wait to see how yours turns out You've got more stick-to-it-iveness than I!
I know a secret. Knit it in the round. Use plain old stockinette for the section which will eventually be the fringe. Then all you have to do is make sure that you are always slipping the stitch that was knit on the last round. Yarn is always forward, IIRC, the patern wil say, but whatever you do in the first round is repeated over and over again, just alternating the slip from the row below.
I did not come up with this idea, but I know a lady who did and she is a genius. Or so I keep telling her.
