Adventures in Knitting: Fourth Doctor Scarf Season 16/17; day 15
Two weeks in and I have just over three feet of scarf. Or, according to Scarf-O-Matic, I'm this much done:
Do you know that the season 16/17 scarf was about 23 feet? That's a mind boggling amount of scarf. Not that I'm knitting all 23 feet. I estimate that about a third of the length is reached by blocking the scarf, i.e. stretching it when its wet. So I probably have another 3 or 4 feet to go and I'll be done the "Hero" half of the scarf. Then it's on the "Duplicate" half. Thank goodness this version of the Scarf is basically two scarves joined together. I totally don't have the room to block something that huge.
The constant knitting does make me sore, but, like last time, I think my body is getting used to the repetative motion, so what hurt a few days doesn't hurt today. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Hopefully I don't end up with claws for hands after I'm done. ;-)
I think I'm making faster progress than last time. It helps that I have nothing else to do during the day...
