Knitting Problems

  Maybe a sweater?

I've been wanting to knit Tom Baker's classic scarf ever since I learned there were doctors before Christopher Eccleston , but I wanted to do it right, and I couldn't justify spending that much for yarn. Until recently, when a family friend commissioned one for her husband's anniversary present. The pattern I followed can be found here .

This is the once-beautiful skein of ultra-soft yarn that resided at the bottom of a yarn stash for an undermined amount of time with no tag to indicate yardage, die lot, company name, or anything else indicative of where to go to buy more, how long ago it was made, or how much there is. The last time I was in possession of such a hopeless tangled mess it was a skein of worsted I bought at Target when I was nine. I was knitting a pillow at the time so I just shredded it and used it for stuffing. But this is nice stuff. Materials : 1 Skein of bulky yarn Size 11 circular needles.
