Dark Mark!

September 21, 2007

I made a scarf for my sister Christy’s birthday. It’s Slytherin in color and has a hidden Dark Mark that you can only see when the scarf is turned on its side.

Viewed head-on, it’s just stripes. Free pattern is HERE.

And another pic, with your favorite dude:

Look! He looks like a cat, doesn’t he? Oh, my Digit. (Tiny Miss Idaho in the background, in her permanent place on the couch.)

    Hehehe YAY! Did you see the one I made for Devin? He doesn’t even wear it, he just takes it out to show people how awesome it is.

    He still looks a mite thin to me, but considering all the dude’s been through? Looking good, Digit!

    I absolutely LOVE this! If I didn’t have so much stuff in queue, I’d make one of these for Halloween.

    I think I have to make that scarf for my sister for her birthday (I’d do christmas but I’m having a baby and I’m not sure I could get yarn by then, though her birthday only gives me three extra weeks). Thank you. And look at Digit! He looks great. Tell him to send his mojo out to this coast to my cat Peanut, who is not doing well and didn’t even take a four-month walk.

    So Cool, Your sis is going to love this and I love the fact that it is sort of a secret! I have just finished a couple of patterns and posted the photos to share with anyone who is interested, but I’m inviting you to take a look and let me know what you think.

    That’s an awesome scarf. And I am SO HAPPY to see Digit looking so great! He’s gained a fair amount of weight, hasn’t he?

    Oh, I have to show this to my nine year old son! He wants a very similar one (from Stitch N Bitch Nation, I think) with an alien face. Not sure but this one might be better. Was it hard?
