Rock, Paper, Scissors Time
We all get ideas for making original and unique things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. And sometimes, we just aren’t sure.
Such is the case of my Spring Awakening scarf (working name). The idea was to make a semi three-dimensional scarf that had flower plants that wrapped followed the length of the scarf (from the bulb below ground to the flower on top). Two of the stems are stitched on top the scarf to create a raised stem. It was designed with four colors and acrylic yarn (Vanna’s Choice) to keep the cost down.
Once it was completed, I sat back and asked myself, “Who would wear this?” Maybe everyone. Maybe no one. I just don’t know.
So it’s up to you now. Do I tie a rock to it and sink it in the deepest lake? Do I put the pattern to paper and make it available for everyone? Or, is it close to good but I need to cut away the not-so-good parts and rework the pattern?

I really like most of this scarf, the only part I’m not crazy about is the “bulbs”. They don’t seem to flow as well, but I love the body of the scarf and think you are amazingly creative!
What an idea!!! I wonder if it is heavy to wear?
Hey I like this. It’s got a nice, fresh look to it, real different color scheme too. I actually like the way the different parts work together to make a Spring awakening feel, not just the usual one, long, uniform scarf (not that there’s anything wrong with that:)
Just wondering: do you think you could make the bulbs slightly more teardrop shaped? Might be worth a try just to see what that does.
I think the whole concept would be attractive to the ladies.
I really like the 3D aspect of the “stems.” It’s the bulbs that are a little . . . hmmm, what’s the word I’m looking for?
If Tex were to describe them, I think he would say “dingleberry-ish.” ;0
