I knew I was in when I read the title. I love funky scarves. Of all the projects to knit in a fun (or silly) yarn, scarves are the thing. While thinking about what I’d like to knit (and receive), I remembered a scarf knit by a friend out of Bananiere. Funky if I’ve ever seen it. But still, wearable. And then it occured to me. BCB should sponsor the swap!
We’ve got a lot of new, very funky yarns on the radar for this fall/winter. This swap is the perfect way to test the waters for the yarn, and to see some things knit out of it (I always knit a swatch of every yarn we carry, but I like to see what others do with it). I talked to Scout, the swap genius, and she agreed.
So BCB is sponsoring the swap in two ways: we’re offering discounts on yarns we don’t yet carry (on a supersecret page) to the swappers and we’re holding a contest for the funkiest scarf knit from BCB yarns.
So what do I consider Funky?
How bout this:
and I love handspun yarn like this:
