Pink Jacquard Scarf and a Mammoth Yarn Ball

14th November 2011 By stephanie

400 grams of yarn!

 

Like I said in an earlier post, this is called a jacquard pattern. It allows the pattern to make itself without any effort on my part, which is awesome! Here are some more photos of it, and you can see it’s a little bigger now.

I left this tail of the yarn longer because I don't know whether I'll want to add fringes later.

 

A hell of a lot of yarn!

 

Over at Starship Craftybiz, Tara has posted an idea for Silent Disco, which came from a copylicious blog post, quoted below:

I went to a SILENT DISCO at a music festival last year. Was I the last person to hear about these? Hundreds of people dancing in total silence, with a silent DJ who looks really into it.

You can hear everything if you put on the wireless headphones they give out. It’s also fun to take them off.

After about 15 minutes of dancing, you’re ready to go.

It’s a nice metaphor for editing.

Editing feels stupid at first. No one knows what you’re doing over there—they can’t hear the music. But they can tell if you’re into the music, and that’s what counts.

Writing is like the secret music in your headphones. Editing is like dancing.

Editing is best in short bursts, and in the right mood. You need to keep it loose, but dance with intention, my friend.

Want to grab a pair of wireless headphones and try it?

The idea behind the Starship Silent Disco is to work on a project you’ve been neglecting in favour of client work.

And that’s what the pink scarf is.
