FO Friday / Project Spectrum: Punk Glam Arm and Neckwarmer set
filed under: FO Fridays ∗ Project Spectrum
You’re going to love this. Seriously this thing rawks. Remember when I talked about that crazy light-sensitive yarn? Well, I knit a fun set of armwarmers and had just enough yarn leftover for a neckwarmer / headband thing. So here they are in natural light.
Sure they’re funky and slubby and soft with some cool pink fuzzy stripes. But wait! Can you see the little clear beads? There are a few in that photo. Hmm let me show them again!
Can you see them now? Yeah! They have color now because they change colors in the sun. The yarn is also plied with this tiny little string that’s white in natural light and turns a subtle pink in the sun too. And the fuzzy stuff in the pink parts. It glows in the dark. This yarn is seriously bad ass.
Here’s the neckwarmer / headband.

And a couple of pretentious art school poses.
Hey, do you know how hard it is to take a photo of your arm and head at the same time?
Remember how I have a busy street and a bunch of construction just on the other side of my backyard wall? Imagine the kind of looks I get when I do little photo sessions like this. Yes. Sometimes they honk.
I think they just particularly liked my extremely old black leather clogs / pink and blue argyle happy bunny pajama bottoms / red shelf bra tank / shizniftle punky glam armwarmer and headband ensemble today.
And yes! I will post a pattern for this! Very soon! Now go worship Reenie (and Angela too!) for making this unbelievable yarn possible. Buy some yarn! Because, amazingly, I’m still doing pretty well on this yarn diet thing but I think someone should buy it so why not you?






That is freaking awesome! I was thinking Madonna, then saw the “luckt Star” reference on your Flickr set!
How fun! Hee hee - got the giggles thinking of your photo shoot.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one out in the yard in her pajamas, taking photos of yarn and knitting.
I love your bubbly arm warmers!
That’s awesome!!!
And I know what you mean about the photo sessions. One day my weird neighbor behind me came out and wanted to know what I was taking picgtures of her house. I was just using our adjoining wall to take pictures of ME.
I bet you know all the words to ‘Like a Virgin”. It looks great!
So, so, so cool!!
Oh, yeah, I feel a dance party coming on!
