Well I have done it. I have joined my first ever knitalong. In the past I have just mooched off old knitalongs when I finally got around to a project, but now I'm part of the action. You will note the shiny new DNA scarf knitalong button on my sidebar. I haven't quite decided what yarn I'm going to use, but there is a Skeins sale on Friday for me to figure it out. Clearly, this was fate. I need something really plush, as it will be a Christmas present for my dad (and maybe one for my husband). I have been searching and searching for something I could knit these two, and this geekalicious pattern is just the thing.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.
