Rail Delay Scarf
Claudia Weber decided to knit this scarf as a way of tracking the train she commutes on every day. Named the Rail Delay Scarf, she used a three color key, adding a row of grey, pink, or red depending on the severity of the delay. The end result is a fascinating representation of frustration and lost time that I'm sure we can all relate to. She is quoted as saying "It’s not a statistic; it’s one year and how I felt about it". The scarf is not only pretty, it takes you on a journey when you look at it: When you see that block of red, you understand Ms. Weber's frustration. Each row of red tangibly represents more than thirty minutes of waiting!
