I've been wanting to invent a pattern for a ruffly scarf for a while. The basic gist of this type of pattern is that you cast on some stitches (I did 100) then you alternate knitting 1 row, then increasing every stitch for 1 row. This gives you a cool ruffle effect, but it also gives you 800 (or, god forbid, 1600) stitches on your needle when you're done. Since I didn't plan very far into the future when starting, I used my 24" US 10.5 needle. I figured I'd just use my double pointed needles on the end to give myself some extra room. Except those filled up too, and I had to add my straight needles to the mix as well. Long story short, I ended up with a hilarious zigzagging frankenstein contraption that spanned across 90" and 8 separate needles. I'm still only halfway done binding off because the UberTight fabric makes my fingers hurt after about 50 stitches. At that rate, it should only take me about 7 more tries to finish it.
