A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food

Every year around this time a few thousand people head to the yarn store and start knitting scarves to give to loved ones at Christmas. Seven months from now an almost equal number of people look at the still half-finished scarf and try to decide whether it's worth working on for next Christmas.
Fortunately, a good friend pointed me toward a solution: The Giant Knitting Needles.
Ok, so they look weird and it takes a few minutes to get used to working with them, but by the end of a not-too-long afternoon I had a complete scarf ready for a gift box. Mine was made of three layers of yarn, which made it both impenetrable and expensive, but thinner yarns work just as well and produce a beautiful open stitch.
So go on, head to the yarn store - you won't be stuck looking for last minute gifts on Christmas Eve.
