You Knit WHAT?

Yes, I am using novelty yarn. I’m not really the scrappy/furry/squiggly yarn type, but on Thursday I was struck with an idea: I would get some yarn matching my travel wardrobe and make up a fun (funny?) scarf on the plane. So far, this is the result:

I can’t say what the novelty yarn is—the ball band is 4000 miles away. I wound it up with some Brooks Farm Duet, and I’m knitting it on my Denise 15s. Whenever I double strand anything, I always wind it into one ball. I’m thinking that the Brooks Farm is actually too dark, but at the time I cooked up this scheme, I thought it would match my jeans better and sort of ground the bright teal scrappy looking novelty yarn.

So what do you think? Will I look like an idiot? I’m finishing the thing, but I might give it away instead of wearing it.

In other news, Cambridge is beautiful and the family and I are having a grand time!
