My first Transformers character scarf is complete! Well, mostly complete. The jury is still out on the fringe. It's not quite as obnoxious as the photo makes it look but I haven't decided if I'll change it to straight blue or go with an alternating scheme of some sort.

For those not familiar with Transformers characters, this scarf was designed from elements taken from the original 1980's cartoon character named Jazz who was modeled after this beauty.

The scarf itself is 401 rows and was knitted in Intarsia with 5 balls of yarn at once. It's made from acrylic yarn and the back is lined with felt to prevent (the inevitable) rolling. Both the lining and the applique 4s are hand sewn on with linen lace weight yarn.

Thanks to ~NadsatBabushka for the inspiration to start doing these. More to come! Also thanks to Gryphon Hatchling for being my model this morning. He wasn't too pleased at being hauled out of bed.

EDIT: I may still applique little Autobot symbols to the bottom corners of the scarf. Jury is still out on that one too.

I'm glad you like it. It's all *The-Starhorse's fault! She painted this, which ~NadsatBabushka got permission to knit which looks like this, and I copied. Starhorse's other "character with scarf" paintings gave me some serious inspiration and now I'm addicted to making custom geeky scarves.

It looks awesome! :D And I think the fringe looks good with the alternating red and blue.

One of these days I'm going to actually have to learn how to sew. It seems to be one of those inevitable skills that anyone who does any kind of crafting learns. And I suppose it's a valuable life skill too. :XD:

It doesn't take a lot of skill, just a bit of patience. Personally, I hate the look of machine sewing so everything with me is hand sewn, even my curtains. I'm glad you liked it. After wearing the scarf out to a sushi lunch with a friend the fringe has grown on me a bit. I think I'll just trim it properly and see if I still like it in a week. :D

My mom has tried to teach me at least three times, and every time I always forget what she taught me a week later. :XD: It'll stick in my brain one day.
