Strangest knitted/crocheted Items.

Beware- this MIL can do “Granny Squares” !

Brilliant. Mind you, if they are anything like my Granny Squares which have a tendency to unravel.....??.

My daughter sent me the pattern for a knitted vagina! I haven’t knitted it yet.....

I've just finished a crocheted fish drawstring bag.
How about these onesies, I could probably make one if you're interested. ??

My Gran knitted me a swimming costume- very pretty but not at all practical. I can still remember the shame of coming out of the outdoor pool at a local park with the crotch below my knees and the neckline just on my hips. We did laugh about it in her later years. (I was approximately 6 /7 years old btw)

I think any men chancing on this thread whether sons-in-law, sons or DHs should be afraid, very afraid !

I wish I could crochet granny squares, I have tried so many times and I just can't get the turning corner bit, I have watched videos, bought the book, still can't ,

Lilypop go online. Trust me, it is so easy.

Search etsy, I think the crocheted reusable sanitary protection is the best ?

I knitted DD1 an armadillo instead of a teddy.

Anyone fancy making one of these for the man in your life?

Or what about this lip balm cosy?

When I was young I was always fascinated with my doctors ties, he looked like a mad professor at the best of times, but wasn’t helped by the fact that his wife knitted his ties, really bright and very 70s if you know what mean. Lovely man though, best doctor ever.

Oh but crocheted ties were very fashionable back in the 70s! Laughable now, of course

1974cookie , Thankyou , I will have another look online and persevere with granny squares, it looks easy I know but I can't get the chains round the the corners, it ends up either a circle or a triangle shape, but never square, ?

Google Mohair Fetish at your peril!

I love crochet and knitting but I think I need a bottle of brain bleach after the balm container.

wow love all these. The work that must have gone into the hiddeous onesies.

My son has crocheted several animal heads as gifts; a hare, a stag, a zebra and little mice for me. Google crocheted animal heads. He also designed and crocheted his own cushions.

I think knitted and crocheted decoration of city centres is wonderful. Unfortunately not heard of any locally, and anyway I can't crochet and need a pattern to knit anything shaped.
yarn bombing

I think yarn bombing is one of those things that in 50 years time people will look back on and say "wtf?"

Is yarn bombing where knitters cover things like telephone boxes? I have seen pictures and they always make me smile.

Spot on cookie. They always make me smile too. I saw a wonderful one in a local car park once - a Smart car completely covered in knitting. Absolutely brilliant, and hilarious!
