When Benjamin & I were in Port Townsend I bought this cool Wool in the Woods brand "Double Kiss" yarn. My mom started knitting me a scarf and discovered there isn't nearly enough yarn. I called the yarn shop, The Twisted Ewe, and talked to the woman there. Apparently she has very specific ideas about how scarves should be knitted: they should be open and drapey, knit with large needles. When she told me I only needed one scain it was based on that vision rather than the way my mom normally does scarves (shown here). Unfortunately there is no more yarn in this specific color scheme, so my mom took this scarf apart and started again (twice) following the drapey lady's recommendations.
