The yarn was angry that day, my friend
I know not many of you are interested in knitting, especially MY knitting, but I have to document this. And really, who doesn’t want to see The Largest Scarf in the World?
After a few months of not quite knowing what the hell I was doing, I managed to knit a few rows that looked decent. So, I kept going. No pattern, no skills, no problem! It was going to be a scarf, I decided.
So I knitted, and Knitted, and KNITTED. This thing took me 3 months. Mostly because I decided to have about 60,000 stitches on each row. Finally, I was done. And it wasn’t a scarf anymore, but a window covering. For giants.
Anyway, I like it. I just fold it in half 90 times and I’m good to go. I don’t even need to wear clothes anymore!
Then, I got all ambitious and decided to do a scarf that required gasp! TWO kinds of stitches and ended up with this:
It only took me 2 months. I decided I needed to block it, but I wasn’t fast enough, because as I was turning to grab my scarf to put it on the towel, I was thwarted.
I literally had my back turned for 3 seconds.
It’s hard to tell, but this scarf has what the professionals refer to as “a pattern.” It was tricky, because it required me to count up to the numeral five, which as I found out, was impossible unless I repeated what number row I was on for every stitch. I probably sounded like Rainman as I knitted this. The pattern is supposed to be of triangles, although in this photo it looks like “The pattern I ended up with because I cannot count.”
