I have been a terrible along-er, and I apologize. Here’s an update. Rogue is… balls of yarn in an unopened box.
Doesn’t it just make you want to cry?
The DNA scarf is slightly better:
I’ve been avoiding it. I hate working on it. It’s turning out a bit lumpier than I would like, but that’s not really the problem. I’m finding the pattern trying. It’s boring to do, and yet you can’t zone out for a second or you’re screwed. The one saving grace is that I’m knitting it with the yarn of the gods. It’s sooooo wonderful to touch. It’s going to be my knitting project for the plane to and from New York this weekend. I think that should be enough to get it done or close to.

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.
