FO's--Necklace and Yet Another Scarf

KnittinKitten · 11-19-2005, 10:35 PM

Here's the MagKnit necklace I finished ages ago and am just now getting around to photographing. I used two strandes of Suede to try and make it look kinda leopard-like. http://www.magknit.com/

The tube scarf is in a chenille yarn - so cozy and soft - but I think a different yarn would have made better stitch definition. You can wear it doubled around your neck like this http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/kls-tubeScarf.html

Have a good weekend, everyone.

I'd never have thought of knitting a necklace. What a great idea! The scarf looks very cozy, love the colors, too.

What kind of findings are those?? Is that a MAGNET?? VERY unique!!

dustinac · 11-20-2005, 12:24 PM

the kits in the website do they come with the yarn and instructions or just the magnknit clasps?? LOL I really like those but couldn't find inst. for just the necklace...

edit: umm.. I found the instruction on the knitting part so now I take it the kit is just for the ends..

COOOOOL STUFF! That necklace is so cute! I think we need a pic of you wearing it. ;-)

Thanks, guys. The necklace was fun and FAST to make. When I initially saw the kit, I thought I'd make one for EVERYONE for gifts ... until I saw the price of the clasp. Then I decided it was just for me!

The kit is just the magnetic clasp and instructions on how to glue it into the clasp. I think it was about $40.

I've looked around for other magnetic clasps but haven't had any luck.

Surely, if we look long enough we'll find one that is less expensive & we can do LOTS of them....or so I hope
