Start to Finish

If I've learned anything from my work life as a project manager, it is to prioritize for the quickest win; in other words, go for the low-hanging fruit. That is how I was able to make quick work of one of the items recently resurrected from the Knitting Dead Pool: my brother's once and former scarf.

Begun in November, 2005 but sadly forgotten by January, 2006:

Today, morphed from scarf to 20 grafted inches of now-circular cables:

At the finish line one year later, the scarf transforms into quite a handsome hat (top view)!

Yes, Virginia. There is life after the Big Plastic Bag.

Love. It. How clever of you, and the resurrection of projects is quite a noble pursuit.

Good lord, I have no idea how you did that, but it looks great.
