Serious ponderings on this Friday afternoon...do I customize my bat'leth (scarf) handles with a fun crazy yarn or do I stay traditional with boring brown yarn π€. #knitstr #knit #startrek

Lol, I'm nowhere near ready for the handles. My mind was wandering while knitting. I'll have to go stash diving for fun yarns...I'll keep you...posted π. I'm thinking a fun multi with pinks and purples though.
The way you word it makes me think you've already made a decision! π€ why not the crazy yarn??
π I'm always for the crazy yarn...I just worry about crazy Trekkies attacking me because I ruined it...(not really)
Honestly, it just came to me that I could do it while I was knitting and then the possibilities got a bit overwhelming π¬.
Haha I think by the time you get to that part you'll have a pretty good idea of what would work and look great!
This Trekkie thinks crazy yarn could be cool.
But you might have to ask nostr:npub1y80vm0yvp64cx6e8y0eetu4mhwt5muzrttgaj8a988xnx5q4kn2qlu87je to be official
Never boring. Terrible choice. Have fun and enjoy. Whatever you want is the thing to do
ππ great advice!
These are a my top pics to choose from. The dark one is purples.
Random Stranger: "What kind of scarf is that?"
Yarnlady: "It's a bat'leth (Klingon: betleH, rough pronunciation: [ΛbΙtΚ°lΙx]; plural betleHmey, [ΛbΙtΚ°lΙxmΙj][1]), which is a double-sided hybrid-edged weapon with a curved blade, four points, and three handholds on the back. It was designed and created by Star Trek: The Next Generation visual effects producer Dan Curry for the Star Trek franchise, where it is the characteristic close combat weapon of Klingons. Curry has called the bat'leth "one of the iconic images associated with the show." It has spawned a smaller weapon, which became known as the mek'leth; in Klingon, this is written meqleH. A third weapon, a kur'leth, was later designed by Dan Curry, for Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard. Bat'leths have become an enduring symbol of the franchise among fans, and they are occasionally referenced in other media."
Random Stranger: "Oh, it has purple handles. That's kind of weird."

I see nowhere in here that says brown handles are a must...
