Quick turnaround for a Commissioned Scarf

10/2/2019

 

The Guild received an email today (Oct 2) from a producer of a TV Commercial that is seeking a hand-knitted scarf to use in on Saturday.  

Anyone have something in their 'charity knitting' or 'gift knitting' stash that might work?  Contact info@windycityknittingguild.com if you would like the contact info.  

​Here is the request:



I am a production designer in town, (I live in Lincoln Sq, near Sulzer Library) and I need a very simple, but very long scarf knit for a commercial I am working on.
The turnaround is very quick, so not sure for someone would be able to do it.

It can be a very simple pattern/stitch and whatever yarn (heavier?) that would help with a speedy completion would be fine.

The scarf can be between 6"-9" wide and maybe 7'-8' long.


We would need to pick up the scarf by end of day on Friday, 4 Oct, as we are shooting it on Sat.

If this is possible, let me know as soon possible and also how much it would cost.

Many thanks for your consideration.

Additional info:
I was hoping that a one color, very simple pattern or stitch (?) would help to make it more doable.


However, if by some chance, someone would be able to do this, and they have enough of one color (which is perfect-do not need multiple colors) on hand, then maybe more efficient for them to use what they have.  Otherwise, we can certainly supply yarn.

We of course would reimburse them for the cost of the yarn in addition to the time involved in the actual knitting.
