June Brides

In honor of all the beautiful June Brides, here is a lovely crocheted inspiration.

Call PETA Immediately

Does this sweater make my nose look big?





















People say that dogs look like their owners. So perhaps Pink owns this little dog. Is Pink a knitter?

To Russia with love

This is so seasonally appropriate it makes me laugh.
What a beautiful model... Diamond brooch... lovely tweed coat. And then there are 16 pounds of hat on her head.

A Hat Trick

Three knit dresses.

Can you picture yourself in any of them? Do they look fun to knit? Are they flattering?

These are the questions that you need to ask yourself before you embark on any new project.
I'll let you consider the answers

Faux Hawk

Take a ride back to the punk days of London. The wonderfully defiant gritty urban statement. The MOHAWK :
















Fast forward to the latest infomercial invention: The Slipper Genie! Wear the slippers, clean your floors. Simple as that!










And then combine the two for a stunning knit creation.
Somewhere, this all went horribly wrong. You don't get the sharp point of teenage angst, and railing against the establishment. And you can't clean anything. And, you look like a muppet.
Still, I love that they tried!

"I Do" Ahoy!

Oh, I was going to get married, in a field, and carry daisies. Then I grabbed a pair of wedgie sandals, and ran out the door to a picnic. It's a costume-party, so I thought the red silk do-rag was PERFECT. I am a pirate. Ahoy! I was so pleased with my costume, I did a quick interpretive movement "dance". And then I woke up.

USS SAG

I was afraid that if I made a skirt, it may look saggy and droopy after I sat in it a few times. So I decided to make it look saggy on purpose, then no one would think my butt had pulled and stretched it out. In order to really get the full effect I employed all kinds of tricks. First I did stripes. These are super effective at highlighting the line. They actually form POINT that points out the sag. Then I did an increase so that the stripes slant down. Next, I wore a clingy, knit, fleshy colored top. And then I wrapped a beaded "belt" around me. I let THAT sag a little, in keeping with the theme. My favorite part of the whole outfit though, is the black men's-office socks that I wear under my boots. They really add such a great element of whimsy to the whole thing, don't you think?
