Currently on the needles

from JoeUser Forums

This is what I'm currently working on:

If you look at it straight on, it looks like a plain old purple and black (those are the colors I'm working with) striped scarf.  When you look at it from an angle, however...the skull and crossbones can be seen.  My daughter's school has banned any attire or accessories bearing the skull or crossbones image, so she's quite excited about my making this for her - she thinks she's going to be sticking one to the school and the dress code, and in a way she will be. 

On my travels around the internet I've come across some patterns that have made me scratch my head and say "why??".  Some people knit the strangest things....like this little beauty, for example:

It's a uterus.  Yes, a uterus.  A knitted womb.  Why would someone knit a uterus (complete with fallopian tubes and ovaries)?  I really don't know.

And then there's this:

A man-thong.  I'm not even going to comment on that; I don't think it's neccessary.

The last time I checked, wool shrank when  you washed it or got it wet. 

If it IS wool, then it's going to be very uncomfortable and scratchy on someone's lady-parts.  If it's NOT wool, it's going to sag as soon as it gets even slightly damp.  Again, I don't know why.

I'm going to leave you with this darling little project:

Again, I don't really know what to say 'bout that....

It's actually not that hard to make..the directions are here:http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATThallowig.html

All of the things I've posted here (apart from the skull scarf) can be found there.  They've got some kick ass patterns, but they've also got some pretty.....umm.....whimsical, is the appropriate word, I think...items.

That last one looks EXACTLY the gal from that movie "TOYS" with Robin Williams. Some gal has hair that looks like that and it turns out she's a toy too.

Just something I remembered... love all of em! well that uterus is different, not bad tho, just diffferent!
good stuff!

I wish I could see it. Utah national guard security is protecting me from any pornagraphic images that you might have knitted into the pattern. Sigh.......

You finally got me curious enough to get started by the way. I'm up to casting on, knitting, and purling. Next project, not sucking. And then maybe a little hat. Yeah.

I show off my kickass baby blanket whenever I have the opportunity. It is one warm blanket! I won't ever be able to thank you enough.
