Getting started with Camp Loopy

I decided to participate in Camp Loopy this year.  Are you?  For June, July, and August, you knit or crochet one project each month.  I'm working on my first Camp Loopy project - which has to be done by June 30 - and I don't like the pattern I chose with the yarn I'm using.  I really, really like Henslowe (my original pattern) and I'm into the first straight section and I don't like the way this colorway and the pattern is working up....I think that it needs a bolder color or something.  I like the pattern, but I decided to frog it last night.  I think that I will revisit it with different yarn at a later date...


So, late last night I went perusing Ravelry for a pattern that uses (1) at least 375 yards, (2) is easy to knit, (3) will travel to Alaska well, and (4) is easy to memorize for the craziness in the few weeks ahead.  I decided on the Knotted Openwork Scarf.  It's a 4 row repeat, looks great, and I can continue until I run out of yarn.  Tonight I am going to restart the Camp Loopy project...
