@Eville1: Perhaps that is why she is selling them :-)

I'm tempted, by the way. Both which are still on etsy are totally awesome. I'm not sure which one to get. Both, perhaps?

Oh wow thats some great work. Im living here in El Paso and I had no Idea we had this many Elpasoans surfing here at Kotaku. Including Brian. I am a broke ass college student but for the time and effort these scarves are definitely worth it!! Maybe I can get her to lower the price if I bribe her with some Chicos Tacos.. =)

man I don't know if I want Mike Tyson's face on my scarf, though the megaman looks good except for the flaw. Personally I liked the tetris scarf that was shown a while back, that was much better then these.

Anyway I do apologize to Beatboxtaun especially for that being the first comment on her welcoming story. I know how much of a pain sprite work and yarn work are, so putting the two together just has to be an exercise in frustration.

I will be selling my MS paint drawings of Atari 2600 games for the low LOW price of 12.5 cents.

For only 1 bit, you can own a piece of history!

To the new member knitting these, great job. I only wish I had the skill to create something other than wordy and sarcastic blog posts.

Why is everyone nitpickuing about the little things?!?

So X is on the Mega Man one. If its that much of a big deal then you can just go get that other one that has the correct mega man on it......oh thats right there isnt any other place to get these other than making them yourselves. And if you can make them yourself then by all means go out and get your wool and make one that is correct.

Personally they are a bit pricey for me but if that was not a factor i would purchase one, cause i havent found any like these anywhere else.

Considering these are homemade by one of us and not made by some huge corporation selling them at Hot Topic, i believe we can let the X issue slide.

i love that first scarf. this post has not only fantastic scarves, but an attractive female and an alternate acceptable plural form of the word "scarf".

uh, i just reread my post and it seems kind of sarcastic, but i don't mean it to be. i genuinely am excited about all these things. is there such a thing as a "genuineness" tag to counter the sarcasm tag?

@Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee: It's not sad, us megaman fanactics are crazy about our megamans, I have em all but the Battle Network games and still play em occasionally. Probably play through 2 again in a few minutes.

My music library is mostly megaman stuff too.

Good job besides the blazing megaman error though Beatboxtaun. All the boss characters are in their pre-battle poses, which is good. And the other scarves are great as well.

@SkutSkut: It's (read: pathetically) sad, but that's actually keeping me from buying that scarf right at this moment.

If it was the titular character from the second game in the series, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

I am most definitely going to jump on the first "Punch-Out!!" scarf...

...when I have enough money to blow on a $175 scarf. C'mon economic stimulus package!

Well done, and just so you all know, El Paso does get cold, as do some parts of Texas.

Also, is there any hope for other scarf styles? lets say a Duck Hunt one? As I think that would be pretty sweet.

Being this is made from a el pasoan is pretty funny as it would probably getting little to no use there. Except in November, December, and January and possibly February. Okay so it's not really cold there but when it does go low temps it's cold to us sheesh!Don't judge me.
