I should explain, I designed this scarf whilst watching each and every chilean miner come up from the mine. I started it at 5am and continued to knit it until 3am the following morning when the last one was freed and they were playing the national anthem. The scarf is knitted in two yarns of different thicknesses and textures. It can be completed in, on average, 3 days for an experienced knitter, 5 days for a beginner.
