The Mario Scarf: Wear World 1-1 around your neck

by Ross Miller { Aug 8th 2008 at 2:40AM }

Here's a way to show you care: an Atlanta, GA schoolteacher (and obsessive knitter) is recreating World 1-1 in scarf form (based on this map from Ian Albert). The plan is, once she finishes, she and her boyfriend will get engaged. You can follow along with her progress at the aptly-titled The Mario Scarf Blog, with an FAQ found here. Now, if only there was a World 1-2 belt to go along with it ...

But can she knit world -1?

Well sure, as long as you connect the two ends to each other to form a loop.

Needs to be one of the castles and "The Princess is in another castle!"

Yeah I totally just plugged her site while showing you her 1337 gaming scarf skillz.

Is there such a thing as getting tired of Super Mario Brothers? I mean, I like what she's doing and all, but give SMB a rest already. How many times can it be recreated?

The moon has yet to be touched by Mario so until that happens - no!

That's funny, Mario went to the moon in Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door for the GC. After Mario Galaxies, I think he needs to go to the netherworld next. Maybe give him a couple chain swords like Kratos. Let's see what Nintendo does with that!

There's an idea for a new speed run. Who can knit 1-1 the fastest?

Mike @ Aug 8th 2008 1:44PM

Can we take the warp pipe?

Cool

Nice work. It just gives me reason to call my grammy and ask her why she doesn't love me enough to knit me one and instead made one with duckies. :(

btw... The link doesn't seem to be working for the world map GIF file. :x

I have to give her mad props for this scarf! I do have to agree, who's going to wear one this long, but turn this sucker into a blanket and that would be amazing!

"once she finishes, she and her boyfriend will get engaged"
Yeah, I bet she pulls a Penelope on him and un-knits the stitches every night while he's asleep, to buy her time while her real husband is making his way all over hell and creation to come back to her.

haha epic

Gratch @ Aug 8th 2008 12:17PM

Originally she was knitting 8-4 because she wanted to recreate the epic final battle which symbolized the struggle with the things keeping her from getting married. Unfortunately she took several wrong turns during the maze portion and repeatedly sewed the same section of scarf until she ran out of time.
