The two I have on the needles are scarves in the 7-8 sts\/in range, and one is pictured here. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Parallax&#8221;, which is a catchy name, if scientifically inaccurate. I&#8217;m knitting it in Kauni Effektgarn. I actually have almost double this amount done &#8212; it&#8217;s a shockingly easy pattern, and I can get quite a lot done in short order.<\/p>\n<p>The other scarf I have on the needles I&#8217;m going to keep under wraps (except to those who see me working on it locally) until I have more of it done. It&#8217;s a sort of magnum opus &#8212; I&#8217;ve written the pattern, and it&#8217;s 114 pages long. Now I just have to knit it. It&#8217;s going relatively quickly despite its complexity, and I hope to have a majority done before the shows in October. Because each row is different, it keeps my interest well; and because there is an element of randomness there is an infinitesimal chance that any two &#8212; even made by different people &#8212; will ever be the same. I am of course making my exact configuration available in the pattern for those who&#8217;d rather just do it exactly as I did. I&#8217;d like to find out what the exact statistical likelihood is, so if you&#8217;re a statistician, please get in touch :&gt;<\/p>\n<p>When these patterns are made available, I think they&#8217;ll be digital only.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you&#8217;re going to TNNA, look for the guy with the <a title=\"One good tie deserves another\" href=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?p=92\">knitted tie<\/a> on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been a little reclusive since I finished the bulk of my work on the book, but now I have some stuff to share.
