Hey all,

My most recent finished object: Skull & Crossbones Illusion Scarf.

I followed this pattern: http://ysolda.com//wordpress/index.php/skull-illusion-knit-scarf/

In case you don't know what an illusion scarf is, the knitted image appears only when you look at it from an angle.

Here's the image:


Here's the finished scarf (notice that the image "disappears"):


This is the "wrong" side of the scarf (skulls can be seen):

6. Cool!!!

I've never seen illusion knitting. I used to knit a lot, but haven't knitted anything in years. That scarf looks like it was fun to make.
