The Long Serpent
Ancient runes, carved in stone tell a forgotten story.
A serpent slithers along the runes, tying the story together.
What story is carved on this one?

This is a scarf in Tunisian crochet. The design is similar to traditional snake-like decorations in Celtic or Nordic style.

The scarf is crocheted as one long snake that in the end is tied into a plaited knot, so that the knot appears to be without start or end.
