I DO LOVE KNITTING PATTERNS. (- a.p.w.b.d.)
So I just thought of a REALLY AWESOME pattern for a scarf. Make that two, actually! Inspired by ThinkGeek <3
The power symbol, reversible in two contrasting colours. (white & black?)
Similarly, a Space Invader. (d. blue & neon green, maybe. Or some other Space-Invaderly colours)
I'm thinking just plain old worsted-weight synthetic yarn, they don't need to be anything fancy. The question is, do I do the background double-sided as well, or just with the strands of yard doubled? (translation: Solid colours, reversible, or with the colours mottled together?)
I NEEEEEEEEED TO MAKE THESE. DAMN YOU, CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.
I bet they would go fast. Clearly I should just do it and damn the consequences and then I could have GEEKY SCARVES. If knitting didn't fuck me up so badly, I would make tons of them and give them away and sell them on the internets. I SHOULD LEARN HOW TO ACTUALLY WRITE KNITTING PATTERNS SO Y'ALL CAN MAKE THEM INSTEAD.
I just had a terrible thought. What if these scarves already exist? I have the sinking feeling that they may have appeared in Stitch 'n' Bitch. *pout*
edit;; OMG BLACK-AND-WHITE REVERSIBLE PIANO/HARPSICHORD SCARF. (the keys, yo. because lots of harpsichords have white-on-black keyboards instead of black-on-white.) OMG. ALSO, BASS CLEF SCARF??? (start simple. treble clef is much too complex. IT WOULD LOOK AWFUL.)
Dear Self: BREATHE. It's not like we have the funds to buy a bunch of yarn right now anyway.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS? A KNIT PILLOW SHAPED LIKE A BASSOON REED. I COULD LEARN TO CABLE FOR THE TURBAN AND EVERYTHING. OH GOD I NEED TO DO THIS. !!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN my ideaphoria is turned up WAY HIGH right now. I have been having CRAZY Torchwood plotbunnies, too. (DISCLOSURE TIME: I probably spend more time daily reading fanfiction than anything else (except on some days, watching television). I have, at various points in my life, written fanfiction. I might do again, and soon. BEWARE.) (I sort of feel like the past year or two have been about really owning my geekery. It's an ongoing process. But the more I am honest and upfront about it, the more it pleases me.)
OBVIOUSLY THE WAY TO HAVE IDEAS IS TO NOT GET ENOUGH SLEEP, YOU GUYS!!!!!!! :D :D
