Hawkeye: Margaret, wasn’t this potholder supposed to be a scarf?
Margaret: It hasn’t been a scarf in weeks. I’m knitting a sweater for a pilot I met in Tokyo.
- M*A*S*H
The onslaught of cold weather has ignited an urge to knit...something. The only question is...what? I lack the patience to attempt a sweater (and have a quarter of one lying around somewhere in testament to the fact)...don't need another scarf...and am, consequently, on the lookout for "options".
It's either that or morph into a version of Christine Aerfeldt's Standing Knitter (She Makes a Scarf She Will Never Wear) and begin bombarding Mr. Heb with crocheted cravats...

The book seems to be out of print, but I got it from my local library. I used Patons Brilliant yarn in Black Dazzle, which is black with a subtle metallic shimmer. It was an easy project, even for me!
