Scarfpocalypse!
So. The Velcro didn't work as I had hoped. It's holding together just fine, but it's peeling off the scarf. It's happening anywhere the connector pieces are under stress, which is pretty much everywhere.
We're holding it together with safety pins and quick stitching, but I need a better solution.
I tried a sewing machine, but the sticky back gets all gummy and stops sewing.
Do they make something like a thread stapler?
We've updated our "Field Guide to Pride Flags"! It's got almost 70 different flags and quick blurbs about the identities they represent. You can download a PDF from our website!
It's never going to be a complete guide to every flag or identity, but if there are any reasonably prominent ones that haven't been included, please let us know!
(And you might be able to snag a very very limited edition printed copy if you swing by our booth and mention this post and no one else has grabbed it first.)
At our booths this year, we had the “Field Guide To Pride Flags”, a binder with a bunch of Pride Flags and a quick blurb about the identitie
One down!
I should try to get more giant flag GIFs this weekend.
I may need a volunteer.
I think I have about a dozen wavy flags to upload, too.

PRIDE MONTH HAS ARRIVED.
Before and after.
Looks like this is going to work.
Too bad all these panels are so ratty.
This is not what I'm supposed to be doing.
Over 35 miles of yarn.
So far.
Two more before Pride Month starts!
This is another 29 feet of scarf: 4 for the Two-Spirit flag, and 25 for the Seattle Aces & Aros one.
That bumps the total so far to: 908 feet!
There are four scarves still in progress: Bear, Demisexual, Demiromantic, and Polyamory. I'm hoping to get them done at some point soon, but my priority now has to be Pride Prep, so I might not have much time to work on them. (And as you've probably seen, three of those are giving me trouble...) I expect those will bring the total length to about 925 ft. or so.
Also, I have started to deploy the scarf at my office! We've been working on putting it up for two days and have only used half of it. We're going to recruit others to put up more of it. Seeing it all connected and unfurled is making me wonder what I have done with my life the last six months...
I have plans for the next round of additions. I'd like to reach a full quarter mile, but that could be a stretch. There are definitely enough flags for that, but are there enough flags that anyone has ever heard of before? That's the challenge now. The next round will probably be a lot of the same flags, but in different styles, like sparkly or poofy or compact.
Of course, if I really wanted to hit the length, I could get a bunch of those 1000 yd skeins, and just make a 400 foot long rainbow section. But that seems like cheating.
The curls are not going away.
I have an idea, but I don't really want to do it. But I think I have to.
Okay, so like... Would a series of potholders all stitched together count as scarf? It would be scarf material and scarf shaped.
Asking for a friend who just bought a loom and a bunch of bands because they're going to have to hang around pride fests all day with nothing else to do so why not make a bunch of pride flag potholders and add them to the scarf?
Pretty sure a live anaconda can count as a scarf if you're metal enough
My anaconda scarf don't want none.

Spent hours yesterday and today deploying scarf.
Only half of it has been used.
There is SO MUCH SCARF.
But at 879 feet, there's just not quite enough . I want it to top 900 for this display. I'd get there with the Seattle Aces & Aros scarf alone if I stick the letters on, but that scarf is needed elsewhere next month and can't be on display. So I need to scrounge up 21 feet somewhere else.
(Although, there's easily 21 feet of connectors. Probably that much in use already... I just want 900 feet of main scarf length.)
Tried loading the scarf into the car today and discovered that it is
too much pride
to fit in my car.
I managed to get it all in, but I had to turn one of the boxes upside down so it wouldn't hit the back window.

Well, that's a first. 900 feet in and this is the first yarn that's changed from good to bad to really bad and back to good, all depending on what color stripe it is. Same ball, different colors, and it acts differently.
Bleh. I really needed to have this one work fine.
Nevermind, I guess every color went bad.
