The Marley Begins

We have begun making the icord for The Marley Scarf. We expect it to take three to four months to knit 200 skeins into icord {We are so using a bunch of machines}.

The Clown Brigade and I are looking to plan an even where we can knit the icord over a large balcony or something like that. Maybe the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland or something like that. I will keep you posted about that if you are near by.

When we get all of the icord knit we are then going to take a 24 hours period and knit The Marley at one time. This have never been done before and it should be interesting. I am even considering doing a Jerry Lewis and see if I can stay up for the entire The Marley is being made and knit on him most of the time.

By the way after The Judy and now The Marley I can say with out hesitation that too much acrylic yarn does have a detrimental effect on brain function. Reggae may not be punk rock, still I don't care who you are. A hundred feet of scarf in one day is cool.

I also wanted to thank everyone for the kind comments about the Yarn Harlot thing. Like everything on the Internet you don't get the whole story. I was just the strangest person in the room when a famous person with a camera walked in. I would not even attempt such a thing if it were not for my clowns, the gracious support of the local knitting community and the Internet knitting community. I am not shifting the blame to you. I take full responsibility for the crimes against knitting and nature that I am committing with this project.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.
