From the pattern:

In 2020, my condo building in Cambridge burned down, taking all my belongings including my copious yarn stash with it. Some things were rescued during the demolition but none of the yarn could be salvaged. Within weeks, a fan reached out to me and offered two skeins of Kauni, one of my favorite yarns.

I decided to dedicate these two balls to a pattern that might help me “rise from the ashes, ” and over the 5 years since then, I’ve worked on this scarf off and on. I decided I wanted it to be the first pattern I released from the rebuilt condo. Now that I’m back in the new space, I made the final push to finish the sample and here it is. Read more about it inside.

Despite the all-over colorwork, there is nothing in this scarf that requires more than the basics of two-color double-knitting which you can get from my intro workshop (or similar workshops taught by countless other instructors).
