Naughty knitting (⚠ not for the easily shocked)

Was shocked to see this anatomically correct knitted piper. I wonder what size of needles would be required!

Jane10 Tue 18-Aug-20 20:11:10

It was sold Elegran the twitter poster had bought it. I've asked where just in case anyone's interested.

I thought it was funny too, we need a little fun at the moment.

The anatomical details were slightly off but that made me laugh more. grin

Jane10 Tue 18-Aug-20 21:37:39

Are they sodapop? Half way down his thigh? I thought that was normal? wink

Last Christmas, as part of the office secret Santa, I was given the 2020 Nudey Knits calendar. It's absolutely wonderful, every month has a really funny picture with a tongue in cheek title. I have a particular fondness for November where he's "holding his bangers"! grin

I've not been into the office since lockdown so must retrieve that calendar.

At our Zoom chat today several Grans decided to go into production of naughty knitted figures. As a non knitter I was appointed diversity officer as we are committed to equality and diversity. Knitted lives matter!

Now you have done it Jane10 stand by for blasting smile

Elegran Wed 19-Aug-20 14:33:02

Jane It will be impossible to be diverse enough to cover all variations in size, shape, proportions, colour, texture, and above all performance so your task is doomed from the start! Would it be better to restrict production to averaged parameters, carefully calculated from dedicated research in a wide variety of fields (watch out for cows) and designed to ensure that "what FitzGeorge FitzHerbert" ?

I would buy a few for sure, nice little gift for someone.

Sparkling Wed 19-Aug-20 15:44:01

Chewbacca I can’t get into that link, I really want to knit some.

fevertree Wed 19-Aug-20 16:10:39

Sparkling does this help?

I would so love to give the piper to MacS on his eightieth birthday in November. Does anyone know if these are for sale? Elegran Perhaps you do. wink

Elegran Wed 19-Aug-20 16:59:49

I don't know any more than you do, Soop I do know that there are knitting patterns for sale at that URL that fevertree gave, and that there are also videos on that site that you can watch, because I have wasted some time watching them!.

soop Wed 19-Aug-20 17:04:30

Elegran I cannot knit. I would happily pay someone who would be willing to do the job on my behalf.

Elegran Wed 19-Aug-20 17:11:27

Maybe someone on Gransnet will volunteer? No point me offering, I am not skilled enough and too slow.

Chewbacca Wed 19-Aug-20 17:15:16

soop I've had a look at the Nudinits site and they haven't got any of the little nude people patterns for sale. But there is a knitting pattern book on sale on Amazon called "Nudinits knittingpattern book bare bottomed fun from the village of Woolly Bush by Sarah Simi 20 ^exclusive patterns to knit naked people^" and it's £8.99

Chewbacca Wed 19-Aug-20 17:16:41

No point me volunteering; I struggle with fiddly little bits!

jane10......I’ve found the perfect course for you at Edinburgh Uni! Ideal as it’s local so you wouldn’t need to pay for halls. Have you got your Higher results sorted out after last month’s fiasco as you’ll need them for admissions office? grin
