\"grey<\/a>This year I did the smart thing and started this scarf in September, before it got cold outside. It’s the first thing I’ve knitted, and I didn’t use a pattern– I just knit in 2×2 ribs until I ran out of yarn. It is longer than I am, because I believe length is an important scarf characteristic.
