Look Here, You Cluckers
Get your giggle on. There’s an update of the classically funny Chicken Viking Hat at AlohaMedia.net. Yup, it’s a chicken, and it goes on your head. You won’t know whether you’re re-living the turkey-on-the-head Mr. Bean episode or you’re standing in for Bugs Bunny in an opera spoof. One thing’s for sure — you won’t look like anyone else on the block!
This little knitted darling has been around for a while, but the site now has updated crochet instructions, as well as the original knitter’s instructions for the children’s hat and a link to an adult-size pattern. Thanks to those who dream big — concept by Kat Kinsman and Sarah Mundy, with design by Sarah Mundy. Via.
Getting Nekkid Under the Fibers
Fiber artist Anna Maltz has a really supportive family. Really, really, really supportive. Check out their full-body “naked suits.” Be sure to click “next” on the site to see additional pics, too! (I’ll add a photo here if I can secure the site’s permission.) Via.
Students Knits Her Own Ferrari
It took art student Lauren Porter and some helpful family members 10 months and 12 miles of yarn to knit a Ferrari sportscar out of 250 garter-stitch squares for the body in hello-officer red, windows from stocking stitch, crocheted details, and — of course — an embroidered emblem on the hood. It’s all supported by a steel frame which Lauren, 22, welded herself. See a still pic here and a brief video here and The Sun article here. I believe this dates from mid-2006. Via. Also see her own website for a knitted wingback chair, Christmas tree, and more!
