guys and eyelash?

[anashenwrath]

so a male friend of mine was admiring an eyelash scarf i was making for a friend, and i had the genius thought to make him one as well.

anyway, as i'm knitting it up, i'm more and more concerned that eyelash is too "girly" a yarn. i know that sounds terrible, but i'm worried that he'll never wear it because it's so fluffy, even in neutral blacks and grays.

anyone knit eyelash for guys and have any problems? any guys out there have opinions on eyelash projects?

thanks!!!

I usually use a bulky or worsted weight in a darker color when I knit for guys. Which eyelash is it? Fun fur? Try mixing it with wool-ease or homespun. What color is it?

thanks guys! azure, i really appreciate your input! i am making it mostly black, since he's dark like that. emo of course, i'm throwing in a little gray-green to shake it up. but you're absolutely right; i know i'm being super weird about this. i very rarely knit for people i'm close to for just this reason. sweatdrop you made me feel a lot better. mrgreen

@fashionista: it's not fun fur, it's "furland" by plymouth yarn... i've never used it before. maybe i should look into knitting it together with something less...fluffy. sweatdrop that's a good idea.

well if i gotten a scarf that was furry i,myself wouldn't wear it always, but if it is my favorite color and not that too puffy (if you know what i mean), but go ahead you can always have a "backup gift" or have it able to do more things like able to put hands in at the ends for a glove or something. just throwing some random suggestions, but i hope that sorta helps.
