Scarf Knitted with Gummy Worms

Posted on by

This scarf will keep you warm and well fed in the winter months. Wear it. Eat it. Then be cold again. Twitter user Overtime Queen made this colorful and edible scarf. Take note, grandma. Knit things that I can eat!

It took her 15 packs of a gummy candy that come in 50-inch strings that happen to be perfect for knitting. For knitting needles, she used chopsticks. Then the Queen expertly knitted citrus soda and cola-flavored strands into a scarf that will be scarfed down in no time.

The finished scarf is about 10 by 6 inches, so she will need a lot of packs to make a full size winter scarf.

This is one accessory that is truly tasty and toasty.

You wanna catch ‘em all. Pokémon, not colds. So dress warm this winter and wear this cool Pokéball roll-up scarf. It is stylish and functional. The best part is that when you aren’t using it you can roll it up and display it like art or a cool toy.

You may not be able to throw it at Pokémon, but I bet you could use this thing like a whip and it might catch them that way. Or it might just smack them and make them mad. Either way, it’s a neat way to show your love of Pokémon and keep warm at the same time.

Awesome Reversible Scarf Tells The Story of ‘The Hobbit’ On Both Sides

Posted on by

Hobbit Scarf

 

So The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug still reigns supreme in the box office. Whether you’re going to watch it for the first, second, or nth time, why don’t you show a bit of support and lots of love for the franchise by wrapping this Hobbit-inspired scarf around your neck? The images on the scarf might seem random at first. But if you look closely, then you’ll notice that it’s actually a graphic retelling of The Hobbit.

The imagery on the scarf begins with Bilbo Baggins’ journey from the Shire and back again. Get your knitting needles out and start knitting this as if Smaug were after you.

The pattern is available at Ravelry for $5.

RainScarf: Perfect for Harsh Winds and the Occasional Downpour

Posted on by

Scarves keep you all snug and bundled up when the winds are a-blowing, but what about when it rains? You can wrap it around and over your head, but you’ll still get soaked through. That is, unless you have a RainScarf.

First and foremost, the RainScarf is a scarf. But when it rains, you can also quickly transform it into a hoodie of sorts. Just remove it from your neck and flip it inside out from either end. And voilà!

You’ve got a hoodie you can wear and something waterproof to cover yourself with while you run to find some shelter.

The RainScarf is available in pink gem and slate gray, so there’s one for the girls and one for the guys (but remember: real men wear pink.) It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter through November 8th, where a minimum pledge of $24(USD) will get you one of your very own.

When Rain Catches You By Surprise, RainScarf Has Got You Covered

Posted on by

RainScarf

Don’t let rain catch you by surprise again. Of course, you could carry an umbrella or raincoat with you at all times, but that doesn’t sound very practical or convenient. What you can get instead is the RainScarf. It’s a dual-purpose scarf that has a pleasant surprise on the inside, which comes in especially handy when rain suddenly creeps up on you: a hoodie.

Just wear it like you would wear a regular scarf. When it starts to drizzle, just transform it into a partial raincoat by flipping it inside out from either end. The inside is made from a nylon water-resistant fabric shell, so you’re sufficiently protected, along with whatever gadgets you choose to keep under it while you scramble for shelter.

The RainScarf is available in two colors: pink gem and slate gray. It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $29 will get you one of your very own.

Neuro Knitting’s Scarves Will Cover Your Neck in Brain Waves

Posted on by

Customized scarves are nothing new, but artists Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet still came up with something truly novel and different in this category.

They worked with Sebastian Mealla from the Music Technology Group in Barcelona to create something called Neuro Knitting.

EEG Scarf

The process is described as follows:

Neuro Knitting represents a novel way of personal, generative design and fabrication. An approach that brings together affective computing and digital crafts. And thus, it offers new applications and creative thinking to both areas. It’s basically a process where you, the person who wants a new one-of-a-kind scarf, wears an EEG cap and listens to 10 minutes of classical music. Your brain activity is recorded and transferred into a knitting pattern using a program called Knitic.

A custom scarf is then knitted from this pattern, and voila! You’ve got a truly unique brainwave-patterned scarf that’s yours, in every sense of the word.

But note that if you have something against Bach’s Goldberg Variations, you’ll probably have one chaotic-looking scarf.

Color-Changing LED Scarf Will Match Your Every Outfit

Posted on by

This scarf will never go out of style for one reason: because it adapts to match your outfit, whatever pattern or color you’re wearing. I think the concept behind this fashionable piece is pretty self-explanatory. The scarf is embedded with LED lights all over that changes color automatically based on what it’s wearer currently has on.

LED Scarf

You can’t buy this scarf anywhere, although you can make one of your own. The tutorial is posted online on Adafruit Learning System, which explains that the scarf uses “the Flora color sensor and 12 color-changing LED pixels diffused by a ruffly knit scarf.” Check it out in action below:

How’s that for convertible and interactive fashion?
