a double-knit scarf with short rows
PLOT TWIST
Life is a journey. Each of us follows a path from birth to death. Due to the nature of linear time, we can’t go back and change choices we’ve made or things that happened to us – we just have to move forward, even through life’s unexpected twists and turns. It’s these twists and turns that shape who we become as a person in the end.
In this double-knitted scarf, short-row wedges continually change the direction of the path, based on rolls of an 8-sided die. Depending on the numbers you roll, you may end up with a relatively straightforward path, or one that ends up traveling in a more convoluted way. But because the path never takes more than a 180-degree turn, it never doubles back on itself.
