I decided I needed a dead-easy project (garter or stockinette without shaping) to work on while I read textbooks and articles and such. So I pulled out the two balls of copper-colored Fun Fur I bought a few weeks back and cast on the simple scarf that's on the label.

I was expecting to hate the yarn and fight it every stitch of the way.
I had never knit with eyelash before and here was the conversation I had with the store clerk when I bought it:

clerk: Is this stuff hard to knit on?
Me: I don't know, I've never tried it before
Clerk: (sort of scoffing or snorting) Good luck!

so I was worried - maybe she had tried to knit with it and it was just awful.

Nope - Fun Fur is a *very* well behaved yarn. It feels nice, it knits up well (I'm using casein needles for this one - I think very very slick needles (like metal) or very grippy needles (like wood) might be problematic). The resulting fabric is very cool - furry yet firm.

I may well invest in a few more skeins of this and make some of these up as Christmas gifts for folks. Because I can read journal articles and knit them at the same time, as I said....

I also think the Fun Fur (at least the copper and black and white ones) would make very nice doll-hair (knitted up into a garter st piece the size of the wig needed) if you were making a doll that needed "wild" hair.

heck, you could get the hot pink, knit a narrow strip, and use it for a Mohawk on a punker doll.
