Today I realized that I’d forgotten to celebrate the achievement of my July goal to finish up 5 crochet works-in-progress! Here are all 7 of my completed WIPs:
This scarf is totally biased. That’s not to say that it’s prejudiced, but that it was worked in the diagonal direction of the cloth.
My project was made from Julie Blagojevich’s free pattern Fibonacci’s Biased using Knit Picks Curio. The number of rows in each stripe is according to the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence up to 34. In other words, if you start at the blue side of the scarf and work your way right, the sequence of the number of yellow rows is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. The sequence of the blue stripes are the same, but in the opposite direction. The effect is a rotationally symmetric scarf with few color changes at the edges and frequent color changes in the center. As I frequently tell my friends, math is beautiful.
If my geekiness hasn’t scared you away yet, here’s a random fun fact: my project was the 42nd one of this pattern to be posted on Ravelry! And as the computer Deep Thought so famously stated in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
