My Sister's Extreeemely Long Scarf PDF Print E-mail
Written by Martha Marques

Here is a picture of my very tall sister Peg in her extremely long scarf.  I made it for her birthday, which was July 2.  Yes, yes I know that it is now August but summer time is no season for a wool scarf and I actually did start it on her birthday.  I had about 8 ounces of Corriedale roving dyed in every shade of red and a few shades of yellow which I was planning to spin up for her to make a Fish Bone Lace Scarf (pattern on Ravelry).  I knew that 8 ounces of handspun would make a normal scarf but I wanted to make this longer.  Anyone of you who is taller than average knows the deep longing in your heart for a scarf that is "too long" having exhausted your patience over the years with scarves that are always too short.  Peg wanted a scarf that would hang down below her waist, wrap in at least two big swoops around her head or neck, and then hang down below her waist again.  So I decided to ply the handspun Corrie with some recycled cashmere that I had in my stash in order to stretch the yardage.  I had purchased this from E-bay years ago from a woman in Canada who unravels cashmere or merino sweaters and it had been hanging around ever since waiting to be useful. I had thrown a couple of the small, crinkley balls in yellow dye baths over the years so some of it was orangey and some of it was the original cherry red color.

The net effect was five hefty skeins of a wonderfully soft, lofty, light weight yarn with a mix of all of the colors that look the most beautiful on Peg.  You can see from the pictures how lovely she looks.  When I had knit about 8 feet of scarf and still had two hefty skeins left I asked her, a little nervously, "Peg, how long did you want this scarf really?  Because I can easily make it 12 feet long."  She demurely replied, "That would be nice."   So here it is, twelve feet of beautiful fiber knitted up into a reversible herringbone lace pattern and wrapped around Peg.  Happy Birthday!

 

(Devan modeled the scarf for the pictures on Ravelry and declared that she wanted one for her birthday.  Thankfully that is in March.)
