Okay, so it's really for my friend, but hey, knitting also allows me to let my friends express themselves too. :o)
Another fine example of allowing my friend's true nature shine thru. A lot of the punk rock nature is about letting your own real personality show thru, and not caring what other people think. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work in the world. Hey, I want to be an optometrist. To that end, I work at an optometrist's office, and my boss is older and very conservative. My friend is an eternal geek, but girls don't always dig the geek. So, I knit him a geeky scarf that disguises itself as a regular red and black striped scarf at a different angle. 
Do handwarmers need an explanation? Functional, yet appropriately cool.In the end, knitting and punk rock really do go together, and always will.

I love it! Nice projects by the way. I know what you mean about public vs iner self. I own my own business but still have a clientelle that are very "vanilla conservative". I truly love them as they are good people but i would starve if i did not conform in outward appearance. Lol, they get to know me soon enough but by then they know I am a good person!
