I REALLY NEEDED TO KNIT ST ST DURING MY THESIS WRITING (PhD). So I covered a pipe with pretty yarn that you could never touch your skin with! By the way, if you’re interested in how I got in on: slip-stitch crochet. BUT what’s more interesting is that I left the darn thing there after moving out of the loft! I sometimes daydream about 3 or 4 tenants going by before anyone notices that there is a sweater on the pipe.
