What's funny, or maybe not-so-funny, is now I really want to learn how to knit.

Thanks for the inspiration! :hi:

9. Whoo! That's some serious knitting!
That site rocks. :D

Btw, I really like the knitter who knitted a Ferrari for her thesis. I don't have the original link, but this blog rocks anyway. Check out the tank afghan.

11. KniitaPlease crew still my favorites...
Houston Chronicle article
"...unfinished swatches of comfort and color used to be scattered around her house -- fuzzy testaments to crafter's ADHD -- but ... she figured out a slightly illegal, completely irreverent way to get rid of them: graffiti. Knit graffiti.

One night she went out with another Montrose mom and stitched a pink-and-purple cozy onto a boutique's door handle. It was an act of artistic defiance, a soft, warm tag in a part of town dominated by aerosol arrogance. Other swaths began appearing on street signs, car antennae and park benches, and word soon got around there was a new crew of taggers in town."

14. Um
:o

I'll never look at knitting grandmas the same again.



What's really interesting is that among all of the gory pieces they have a simple monkey riding a banana down a "river". Did the knitter forget to put an ax in his head? :shrug:
