In the Makers Market: Police tape scarf

In the Makers Market: Police tape scarf

Our own indescribably awesome Becky Stern makes these sweet black-and-yellow crime scene tape scarves to order:

This machine-knitted scarf looks like police tape and features the text “Police line do not cross” along the length. It’s double sided! Designed by my close friend Michelle Kempner, the hand-knit pattern and scarf was featured in CRAFT, Volume 04. Knit from high-quality yellow and black 100% cotton yarn, the scarf measures 7 feet long and 3.5 inches wide. Your scarf is made to order, so please allow six weeks for me to lovingly make yours on my computerized knitting machine. The photo of me above was taken by Matt Mechtley.

You may recall Becky’s Atomic Emission Spectrum scarves from a few weeks back. They’re both available now in Becky’s Makers Market store.

There’s more shots of the build as well as pictures of the original prop and two of Adam’s earlier replicas. The very first one uses the famous contoured handgrip from Italian toymaker Edison Giocattoli’s TG-105 ‘Super Thur’ ray gun, which also appeared in a prop from Joss Whedon’s Firefly.
