Several months ago, before I had any interest in knitting, I came across an unusual stainless steel yarn and thought well, maybe. I kept coming across a particular pattern for a scarf and last week I began the ambitious project. Sixty inches of ambitiousness! The foundation utilizes two yarns before eventually dropping down to the black stainless. I've already made a mistake, purled where I should have knit; took in a stitch five times I shouldn't have. But now it's mine. My own pattern of mistakes. And if I can finish it, this may become my sister's happy birthday present. But that's at least 57 inches from here.
