I decided a while ago to try Illusion Knitting. It's a very clever way of making a pattern, but you can only see it from some angles. Spooky, eh? In fact, it shows up moderately well from some angles in the flesh, but even better in a photo. I made a couple of things for Himself but he wasn't massively keen so I frogged (ripped) them back and I think the yarn from one of them became a pair of socks for my dad.

Anyway I've written a pattern for an illusion scarf with a GirlGuiding Trefoil on it. This is what it looks like on the person:

And this is what it looks like when you view the illusion bit from just the right angle:

I'm going to be selling the pattern on Ravelry.com to raise money for my Brownies.
