The "EYEs" of March are Upon Us!

Our fab Stitch 'n Bitch group, the West Hollywood SnB is having a Knit-A-Long and Crochet-A-Long! We're calling it, "The EYEs of March." Natalie came up with the idea to create knitted and crocheted items that feature eyeballs. Sara came up with our clever title. We are starting this KAL/CAL on the Ides of March (March 15th). I hope you'll join us!

There are a couple of suggested patterns, but you can make ANYTHING as long as it has an eyeball on it. We haven't come up with a time limit for this project yet, but it will probably be in a few months, close to summer.

Here are a few ideas:

The EVIL EYE GLOVE

The EYEBALL SHAWL

BLOODSHOT EYEBALL PILLOW

EYEBALL SCARF

The above patterns are only suggestions. There are SO MANY eyeball-oriented patterns on Ravelry and well as in the internet world. You can just applique an eyeball on an existing hat or scarf! Here are two hats that I've added eyeballs to in the past. These are my "third eye" contributions to the yarny world.

Third Eye Martian Baby Beanie, crocheted by Ellen B.

Third Eye Meathead Hat, knit by Ellen B.

I must say, I am intrigued by the possibilities of this KAL/CAL. I've seen fabulous eyeball yarny items on the innernets that do not have actual patterns attached that I might try to figure out, like these:

Pom Poms!

Come on over to the Original Farmers Market, 3rd and Fairfax, L.A., this Thursday, the Ides of March, 7-9 pm, upstairs dining room to join in the fun!
