So today I went to the MoMA with a good friend, and we geeked out over the current exhibit, Design and the Elastic Mind. It was my first time there, and absolutely thrilling.
Sometime during the day, we struck up a deal. I would knit him a scarf I've been wanting to try for quite some time, and he would make me a book.
May I present the Double Helix Seaman Scarf, also known as the DNA scarf? I haven't started it yet, but I started looking at yarn online, trying to get a feel for which companies have both a dark blue and a neon green in their lines (navy blue and lime).
It has cables, the pattern is intricate, there are charts (haven't worked with those yet), and tiny needle sizes.
So after I excitedly tell my mother that I finally have someone who will accept the DNA scarf once I knit it ... I realized my cousin used to be a biology teacher. So she'll get the next one. :)

OMG...Kate I would so supply the yarn if you would knit me a DNA scarf for next fall! We could work a trade, you know....
Yes! I am all for a trade :) Let me just figure out this first scarf --- I have to send back the yarn I originally ordered --- should be done with this scarf by midsummer.
