It was a choice between looking ridiculous or being cold. A few years ago for a Christmas someone presented me with a ten foot scarf they must have spent many hours knitting. When I saw how “impossibly” long it was I roared.
Yesterday it was cold and I pulled out that scarf from the closet and wrapped it around my neck six times so I would not trip on it. I felt absolutely toasty with it when I went out. I even forgot I had it till then.
My other commented how silly I looked in it when I returned. I also had a white cap on which said San Francisco to complete the picture. I told her I did not care and if I had to make a choice from looking ridiculous or cold I pick ridiculous any day.
She just laughed at me again as I departed the house. There are few people in this world who have a ten foot long scarf. I am just plain lucky.

Love it……..and having knitted a few ten foot scarves, I can attest to the joy that you most likely brought to a knitter along the way.
