Well, Sky Cowl, but that doesn’t have quite as a nice a ring to it.
This was a fun knit. The yarn is a skein each of laceweight alpaca in dark blue, light blue, white, light grey, and dark grey. Each day for a year I knitted two rows (one garter stitch ridge) with two of the five strands to match the weather for that day. The Sky Scarf kit came from Leafcutter Designs (it appears to be merino yarn now). The first row is our first wedding anniversary and the last row is our second anniversary. If not for this scarf I wouldn’t have remembered that they were both overcast and drizzly, a far cry from the warm sun on our wedding day.
The instructions say to carry the strands you’re not using up the side by twisting the two working strands around the other three at the beginning of each ridge; however, I didn’t love the way that looked and wanted a stretchier edge. Three or four months in I started knitting the first stitch of each day with all five strands for a clean, stretchy edge. I admit I didn’t keep to knitting a row every day and had to catch up every once in a while, so I marked the first of each month with removable stitch markers. I seamed the ends together with a half twist to make a faux moebius cowl.
Here it is on Ajax, who is a much better model than me.
