In my continuing efforts to keep the Horner heads warm, I have added another knit cap to the collection. This a pattern by Anna Zilboorg that has been bastardized to accommodate using a much smaller gauge yarn by adding extra pattern repeats and sneaking in many extra rows. All in all, I think it came out quite cute.And, for another fun finish (well, the stitching part is finished, but I've not made it into anything yet.) I got this idea from seeing a QR code made of a waffle with chicklets and chocolate chips. I know I am not the first to do this in stitches, but when the idea struck, I could NOT RESIST.
Please, please, pull out your smart phone and scan this baby! I was just so tickled that it worked. Isn't technology amazing!
*sigh* I don't have a smart phone, so can you tell me what I'm missing, please?

Hey, I did it -- my red laser reader is pretty clunky -- or maybe I'm clumsy. Oh well. It worked!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat!
Sorry, Christine. Smart phones are useful in some ways, but mostly just to play with. This is one of those 2-D bar-codes. All it does is give a link to the Ink Circles site. You know how to get there already ;-)
ReplyDeleteWheee! I love QR codes - We're designing new genre bookmarks at work and I'm trying to convince management to include a QR code which links to a results page of searching that genre in our opac. Then people can scroll through the list, see what they like and reserve books to their taste!
