Great Poulsbohemian Scarf

One of my favorite coffee houses is the Poulsbohemian Coffee House in Poulsbo, Washington.  Marianna and the baristas there serve up a mean turkey chutney sandwich on your choice of bread, and the coffee drinks to go with are sublime.  Did I mention the desserts?  Mmmm....

Why mention a coffee house on a knitting/poetry blog?  Well, because on every first Saturday night of the month, at around 7 pm, the Poulsbohemian hosts the Armchair Poetry Reading Series.  Two to three readers read for about an hour, and afterward is an open mike for those eager to share some new work.  

Where does the knitting come in?  Well, go on in, and look for the big basket with the yarn in it, and coiled up into a big (and I mean BIG) ball is the "Scarf."  Marianna says on her website: 

"...We measured the scarf on our Pumpkin Carving Day, Sunday 'October 26th 2008 and it was 168 yards long!  That's 1/10th of a mile..."  
People donate yarn to the cause, and sit and knit awhile.  Anyone is welcome to add a few rows while sipping their favorite coffee or tea.  So, what does this scarf look like?



Fantastic.  Go ahead, go on in, and enjoy.

All wrapped up,
