Mullet Wig 1987

Mulletwig-1

Megan Reardon has her hallowig mentioned in the premier issue of crafts and it put a bee in my bonnet to make a wig. It turns out that I'm reeeaaaaallly slow at knitting, so I'm releasing my plans for mullets to take over the world in the hopes that someone else will make it in time for the halloween contest! If you do, drop me note and tell me how it turned out!

(Side note: why don't zombies have mullets and would a mullet be enough protection from zombies eating my brain?)

While at the Pacific Fabrics Outlet Store here in Seattle, I stumbled upon these Star Wars knitties. The sweet gals behind the desk told me they were from a class that was taught there. Fun!

Beadpattern
Even with a row counter it's easy with complicated patterns (or even not) to get row counting all jumbled up. Turtlegirl's got a great solution with her beaded pattern row counter. Thanks Brian! Link.

The Last Knit

Thelastknit
The Last Knit is a hilarious animation on how obsessive knitting can be, although here taken to the extreme. There's something therapeutic in hearing the clacking of the needles. Written, directed and animated by Laura Neuvonen. Link.
