How to make a sky scarf

Gather 10 balls of yarn of the shades of the sky in the daytime (blue, gray, white). Each day, knit two rows of the color which is closest to the average color of the sky. Repeat for a year.

That's a summary-- there's some more detail on the web site, but the text isn't cut and pastable.

You could get a fancier scarf by choosing colors at sunrise or sunset.

LOVE that.

Makes me want to knit again.

Except our sky is always clear, it's just varying shades of smoggy bleh, with occasional startling blues.

What a nifty idea! (Especially the sunset-scarf variant.) I don't knit, alas, but it's still a nifty idea.

I used to live in Phoenix (Chandler, really). Now I live in Taipei. Either way, that would make for one extremely monochrome scarf - just blue in the first instance and whitish in the second.

Last week I was in northern Sweden, though, and that would make a phenomenal scarf. The sun was only up for about 6 hours a day; two of the three days were gray but one had beautiful pale sunrise colors, all day.
