This scarf was knit on size 6 needles using 2 skeins each of Wool of the Andes in Grass and Coal.
The designer was correct, and illusion knitting does require blocking. See the curls:
Before blocking. I didn't have to get as low to see the illusion before. Whoops!
In playing with the scarf, it looks pretty cool with just the horizontal stripes. Cozy and Manly (thank goodness, since it is a gift for my brother!)
See the illusion? Looking at it straight (left) you cannot see the snake/skull at all! At an angle (right), however....
Today's my brother's half birthday, so I figured it would be appropriate to post it today. Happy (half) Bday, J!
This is me wearing the scarf looking down. THE DARK MARK, AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh man, this might be the coolest thing you've ever knitted. It's magic and it's Harry Potter!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah. My brother does not normally wear scarves (even though he's in Wisconson... go figure!) but he said that he wears this one because he thinks it's so cool.
