Last week one of my first customers came by to see me. She's from Norway and we'd spent a few evenings downloading patterns written in both in Norwegian and English so that I could find yarn for patterns that she could follow. Her husband was doing research at Oak Ridge but was retiring and she hadn't expected to come back from to Knoxville. I was so happy to see her again. She showed me a scarf she was knitting that she'd seen in a shop in Great Britain. It was so simple and clever and she showed me how she'd done it in less than a minute. As I walked out of the shop on Saturday, I picked up a skein of Noro Cashmere Island to try the scarf pattern. I rolled the skein into a ball on in the movies and cast on before I went to sleep. In the morning on the way to church I grabbed the yarn and ran. As I knit, I knew it was the perfect little on the go project, like a sock only its a scarf...the better than sox scarf. As I'm working on it I can think of a dozen variations...more later.
