[livejournal.com profile] torrain has knit a scarf, and the technique is just plain awesome.

This is what it looks like:


And THIS is what it looks like from above, and below:




That's right - it's a knitted scarf, made of wool, where a green skull and snake only appear when you see it from the right angle.

Knitters are scary, yo.

EDIT: Pattern on the original creator's site and here on Ravelry.

"Green skull and snake"? I know the Dark Mark when I see it!

And is or is not "a skull with a snake" an accurate description?

(But yeah, she knitted it for a mad Potter-head)

Awesome! Reminded me of a Tallit, until I saw the skull.

As has been fairly obvious for a while now, [livejournal.com profile] torrain is clearly made of awesome. :-D

I'm not much of a scarf wearer, but I'd consider a change for something sneaky like this.

I have to agree, that is made of awesome. I may have to learn to knit now.
