I’ve crocheted 2 scrap-yarn scarves that are 10ft x 1.5ft – for myself. Why? I can wrap one loosely around my neck 3 or 4 times, then over my head, and still have enough length to wrap my hands on the handles of my walker. No matter how cold or windy it is, I was toasty warm, sometimes even TOO warm.
Unfortunately, I’m now in Florida, and haven’t needed one in years.
This reminds me of the first time I crocheted a hat for my husband. See, he’s a big guy with a big head, and the patterns I found all looked too small for him, so I had to guesstimate how big to make it, and… well… you know the character “Dumb Donald” from the old Fat Albert cartoon? It was kind of like that. Only longer. With no eye holes. And blue. My husband loved that hat. He didn’t let me replace it for a decade, and when he finally asked for a new hat, he wanted one just as big as the first one. Goofy man.
The older of my sisters made a scarf for the younger one a few years back. It was so long that the next year said younger sister used the scarf as an improvised wrap around blanket for my niece.

Attach it to the back of your hood. Then you could fly! =D </Journey game nerd>

An individually crafted gift, earnestly offered, is worthy of appreciation even if imperfectly made. Or if you just don’t “get” it.
Like those kids’ drawings you happily tape to the refrigerator door. (Or, as a friend of mine does, frame them and hang them on the wall.)
It’s why I started paying attention to abstract art.

How could it be TOO long?
