New York minute


When one finishes a large project, like a sweater, one needs a quick little knock-it-out project that can be finished in a couple days to balance out the knitting chi. Here's mine.

Yarn is "Feather" by NY Yarns, so I named the scarf "New York", because it's a little bit silly in a high-fashion way. It's my own design. It's just lengthwise garter stitch, but on every 6th row, I cast off 40 stitches and then cast them back on on the return row, so it has the effect of long fringey ends, or fingers hanging down.

Optional: Wrap scarf around head like a liripipe, with the fringe hanging down, so they look like fuzzy multicolored dreadlocks. Sing Bob Marley song in a fake Jamacian accent.
