There's an ad on p.106 of the December Astronomy magazine for scarves
with the telescope of your choice knitted on them. I've got one,
portraying a black Schmidt-Cassegraine on a white background at each
end of the scarf: it does a nice job of keeping my neck warm when I'm
at my C-8. You can also get one with a Dobsonian, a refractor, or an
Astroscan (the latter is in red, of course <grin>, on a black
background).
They are 6 feet long, machine-washable acrylic double-knit, and cost
$39.95 (postage and handling included), although the maker says she'll
give a $5 discount to anyone who mentions hearing about her work on
the net (see email address below).
I like mine, and find the workmanship to be quite nice. Disclaimer: I
may be prejudiced, because the Jan and I are very close, but even if
she and I were strangers, I would say that my scarf is a very nice
piece of work.
You can get them from ...

(She also does scarves, tote bags, lap rugs, wall hangings, and other
knitwork with birds and musical and other motifs on them, as well as
personalized baby blankets: that domain name is *not* a coincidence.
<grin>)
You can also write for a catalog, which costs $3, refundable with your
first order.
