The Atheist Scarf


Executive Director of Camp Quest, Amanda Metskas, created this lovely looking scarf:

Don’t *you* wish you had knitting skills now?

I wonder what special powers an atheist scarf would have…

    Looks like she’s still knitting it.

    Talented, cute, an atheist AND a hero. The whole package.

    Its supernatural power would be to replace missing red “A”s in signs.

    I do have knitting skills. And she is definitely still knitting it. All those dangly threads should be gone by the time she is done. I wonder if she will add fringe? It’s kind of traditional, but I would not want people to associate “Atheist” with “fringe”.

    It keeps your neck warm. That’s the only power any decent atheist would ascribe to a scarf. Although I guess plenty of people will identify her as an adulteress, so I guess her own scarf has the power to bear false witness against her.

    I hope there’s a pattern when she’s done! :-)

    Darwin’s Dagger beats anything I could say!

    Hey, do you suppose Palin will want that scarf for her daughter? She did say she would hold Bristol up as an example of what not to do.

  7. avatar Susan B. Says:

    I too have knitting skills, and this would be a pretty cool scarf to make. I am considering doing a “scarlet A” sweater instead, though.

  8. avatar Meg Says:

    Lovely! I hope she’ll share the pattern on Ravelry.

    oh, want!

    I have knitterly skills. I am going to make me one of those.

    [...] The same day I ran across this picture: I found it here. [...]

  12. avatar Amanda Says:

    The scarf is indeed unfinished in the picture, but it’s done now. I’m finishing writing up the pattern, and taking a few more photos. You’ll all have the pattern soon.
