Check out this hideous scarf I made.

Background: I made my mom this scarf for Christmas (in black, not white) and it turned out really nice. I asked Tim if his mom might like one and in what color. He jokingly said "purple, green, and gold" (Mardi Gras colors, duh), so I thought "hey, there has to be a variegated yarn out there in those colors! Let me find some!" and headed to eBay. Where yes, I found purple, green, and gold yarn and pretty much bought out the seller's stock.

 

I give you the ugliest scarf in the world!

Re: Check out this hideous scarf I made.

  • it's . . . festive.

    are you gonna make your mom show her boobs to get it?  (too far?)

    If I could only take a picture of the hideous hat my mom knitted for herself without hurting her feelings.  She put it on her head to show me and I couldn't help but burst out laughing which I think kinda hurt them anyway.  It looks like a horribly knitted baby bonnet of some sort, and fits like one of those plastic rain "net" hats that olllllld ladies wear.  Seriously, it's so funny and horrible.  Maybe I'll steal it and take a pic of myself it in next time I've over there.

  • It's cute! She'll love it.

    And look at you in your jeans and chucks at work!

  • Interesting.  I'm impressed with your ability to knit a whole scarf.  I tried knitting a bunch of times and all I have to show for it is a box full of 1/8th scarves in various colors and textures.

  • Wow, it's um....really something, isn't it?  Your MIL is going to love it.

  • I'm going to need a picture of someone (human, mannequin, or dog) modeling this scarf.

  • I think that's the ugliest yarn I've ever seen. For realz. She's going to love it!

    I came across the Mardi Gras fabric I got for your MIL's coin pouch/key ring thing and laughed a couple days ago.

  • Moo--I wear jeans a chucks everyday. It's sad. I think I've worn non-jean pants once all fall.

    Noisy, is there enough left for oven mitts?! I see a birthday present in her future!

     

    Here you go HT! I haven't woven in the ends yet, but you get the general ide-r.

  • Wow, it's like bourbon street slashed your throat. Tragic.
  • I kind of think there isn't, but let me check. I might be able to pair it with something else to make her some patchwork Mardi Gras mitts or something.

    Dude. That is amazing. I can't stop laughing at it.

  • Scarf aside, that's a cute picture.  It must be the pen in mouth.

    The other good thing is, your MIL can spiff it up with a dozen or so bead strands for special occasions.

  • Even a sexy pen face pose can't save that scarf.

  • I don't know, Cali. Sexy pen face pose might have sold me.
    Your MIL is going to LOVE it! I love that you're feeding her obsession. :)
  • I know Hezz, I should've just made her a plain purple scarf! It's no one's fault but my own. We're also getting her a poster of Nola at night. She asked for that. I'm not sure where the frick she has room for it in her house, but that's not my problem! :-/

    She also texted Tim about 20 times last night as we were making dinner and he said "Dude, I just saved you from getting a gnome for Christmas." Praise Jeebus!

  • One day, about 4 years ago, Tim and I went to Ikea and they had these Christmas cards with gnomes on them. We thought they were hilarious and stupid and Tim kept talking in a Swedish accent all day and whatever. It was like an inside joke.

    A few months later we went to Mardi Gras with his family and one of the parties we went to had a gnome mascot. Being incredibly hammered at the time, Tim and I were like "duuuuuuuude, gnoooooooome!" and had our picture taken with the statue. My MIL apparently thought that was our "thing" and has since sent us numerous Dollar Store gnomes, AND even had a gnome placed on our table at our wedding. With a Print Shop sign taped to it that said "Congrats Beth & Tim".

    The best gnome I have is a Red Sox gnome that the Pants family sent us as a wedding gift.

  • Bobthie, has anyone ever told you you're kind of a bead whore?

    Bead whore.

    The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
  • OMG OMG OMG OMG TEARS TEARS UNTIL I DIE THAT IS THE GREATEST PICTURE OF TIM IN THE HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

  • Oh god, you never saw his long hair? It was AWFUL. He looked like Teppo Numminen (I bet the hobo knows who that is).

  • I am crying that they put a gnome on your wedding table.
  • That scarf is super hideous. She will love it.

     Re: the gnome.  Didn't she keep putting it back on your table after you or someone kept moving it off?
