Pushmi-Pullyu or an Endless Alpaca

I have been working on the Endless Alpaca Scarf since the beginning of February. No, it is not a scarf for an alpaca with no end; it is an alpaca scarf that feels endless. The Neverending Story of knitted scarves. The knitter's equivalent of Lillian Hellman's "two people and a ham." (eternity!) It is currently 147 cm long, and between 20 and 30 cm wide (Go Metric!), depending on if you squish it together or spread it out. It kind of looks like a freshly plowed spring field, doesn't it?

It's Mistake Rib (knit 2 purl 2 on an odd number of stitches), hand-dyed, almost-black alpaca yarn with flecks of brown (not much relief), 65 stitches wide on size 6 needles, about 527 rows. I'm quitting when this skein (the third) runs out. Or in 15 minutes, whichever comes first.
