Friends!
Six weeks to the day when I first cast this on, and I’m happy to tell you that the #Startrek double #knitting scarf is complete!
This has been such a fun, and very challenging, project to make, at times feeling like it was never going to end.
I decided to make it fully, including the beads and I also added a fringe because every scarf needs a fringe if you ask me!
This is a surprise Christmas gift for a very close friend who’s a huge fan, I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he gets it!
I’m going to take a break from knitting now for this month, but there’s lots of other fun stuff lined up for next year.
Some stats for nerds:
611 rows.
84 stitches per row.
51,324 stitches in total.
450 beads.
1000 metres of yarn.
260 cm long, 20 cm wide.
42 days in total.
Around 100 hours of knitting.
In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.
I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

#startrek scarf #knitting update:
Today I finished the side profile view of the Deep Space Nine station!
There’s only 62 rows left, and they’ll make up the top view of the same station.
I do like how, by pure chance, the station sits within the complete spectrum of colour :)
This should hopefully all be done in the next few days, I’ve decided to add a fringe to it also, so the next update will be when it’s finished, washed, dried, and ready to be sent to my friend for Christmas.

Axon is testing facial recognition technology in its body-worn cameras with a Canadian police department. This dangerous expansion of surveillance tech should alarm every community. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/axon-tests-face-recognition-body-worn-cameras

Hmm, this doesn't look like a poster for the show I am working on.
