7'11"

Once this is washed and blocked, I can send this off to my friend, who is also a librarian at a very awesome New York City museum.


DNA scarf.
Start date: May 1, 2008
Finish date: July 1, 2008

Used: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, 100% Peruvian Wool
2 skeins in Avocado
3 skeins in Blue Ink (well, a tiny tiny bit of the Blue Ink is left over)

Pattern modifications: I used size 10 needles for the seed stitch, and size 11 for the rest of the pattern. Instead of the right and left twist mini-cables, I did a 2x2 rib on either side of the charted pattern. Additionally, I completely ignored the back neck ribbing.

Pre-blocking measurement: 7 feet 11 inches

J.E.T said, "I would like to use my piggy bank money to buy that scarf." Are you planning to knit other science or thematic things? J.E.T says you should have a little store. Is that in the works? We'd like to support your craft. By the way, I credited this blog in an ad where I am sporting the cool hat you knit me. You are fabulous!!!- racquel

aw J.E.T.T.Y.! you don't have to buy your scarves from me, they would be presents :) Since that scarf is taller than your dad, how about I make you a smaller one? What color would you like? It was a lot of fun to knit :)
No, I don't have a little store planned in the works, I don't want knitting to turn into a job :)
Oh, cool! Is that the video link you sent me?
