Last month, I realized that there was a void in my life that could only be filled with a red-and-white striped scarf.

Solution: Cast on 400 stitches, knit back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth in simple garter. No frills, just scarf. The end result is soft and loose and drapey and absolutely perfect.

Non-Critical Update: Eventually seamed ends together to form a cowl. Whee!
