Silk Pr0n!
In the last of our series of Stitches East Yarn Pr0n Fridays, today we feature silk. A silk scarf kit from Fiberworks - to be drafted and knit as unspun silk. ![]() ![]() ![]() And Habu Textiles Tsumugi (or Tumugi, depending on where you look) Silk, in 14 and 53 (deep orange and tweedy purple, respectively) There are a couple of patterns in the very, very fabulous Victorian Lace Today that call for this, so that is probably in its future. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've been searching, but sadly cannot seem to find a picture online of this hat. Basically, the shape was very much like the Swell hat from the summer issue of Knitty, done without the stranded colorwork in a fairly muted variegated yarn, and with one major difference. It had a mohawk down the middle of it. It's kind of hilarious, and strangely I can actually see Dad wearing it. Which is the ONLY reason that I found myself at AC Moore yesterday picking up black and gold yarn to make one. (Speaking of, black is easy to find, but gold seems a bit more difficult. I finally found some that is a little darker than traditional Steeler gold, but it was either that or pastel baby yellow.) And I promise, there WILL be pictures of this thing when it is done. Modeled by my Dad, of course. ETA: Courtesy of Sherry, the cover of this book has pretty much exactly the shape of the hat on the show. Only much, much brighter than the one Zack was wearing. :D ETA again: And courtesy of Artemis, a screencap of the actual hat! Thanks, hon!!! ![]() |

I have Bones waiting for me on the DVR. I'll have to check it out. The hat sounds like a hoot!
Awesome pr0n shots again, Kris.
HOW CUTE!!! He is a little goofy, isn't he. But fun! Hello and love to both your dad and mom from me!
That is some gorgeous yarns/fiber! Wow! Good luck on the hat front! Can't wait to see that one! ;)
I know that hat! Go look in Amazon for "pretty in punk", a new knitting book. The book isn't out until the spring, but the cover has a picture of a mohawk hat!
You know you're a true knitter when.....your relatives start calling you up to order knitted things they see on TV shows!!!
I don't watch that show but now I'm super curious as to what this mohawk hat looks like!
Dude, your dad totally rules. If any of my Steeler fan relatives asked me for a mohawk hat, I'd be all too happy to oblige.
Now that I have a life I don't watch as much TV. You've got me curious to see what I've missed.
LOVE the show, LOVED the hat, found you a screen cap! (and uploaded it to my server)

You can find a mohawk hat pattern in the book DomiKNITrix. Here's a site that has pics of some of the patterns: Dreamweaver Yarns
Your dad is hilarious. I can't wait to see the finished product. I wonder where they came up with the one in the show...(which I watched via Tivo as well). :-)
HAHAHAHAHA! I love it!
What size needles did you use for that mohawk hat --- so cute!
