Appalling!

Knittler

I am all for picking up political issues through handcrafting, but a book with knitting designs of world famous dictators? I think that´s going too far. Are you going to knit cuddly dolls of Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, or Pol Pot, and place them on your couch for decoration? Or have your children play with them? Things that make you go hmmmm.

Interesting enough the book does not contain a design for George Bush jun. I think that´s fascist ...

SEXUAL CRAFTS - iVag <- clicken Sie here ...

I must confess to you: For a long time I was a tormented man, torn between two opposing sides of my personality, two hidden passions constantly pulling my soul apart: Sex and needlework. Ohh, the agonizing guilt of being haunted by such unspeakable obsessions! On the edge of a breakdown I didn't want to live with the guilt anymore.

Finally it was the Internet - this compassionate community of mankind - who has has given me salvation. To my surprise Google helped me find many people - male and female - on the web with the same fetish combination. I can now finally reconcile these haunting deamons, and put to rest my trembling soul. I am free now.

I had already hinted at my dark side with a blog entry on knitting art, but now it is all in the open, and I feel great.

So here is my newest fancy: Vaginal ipod cozies - iVags - to slide your ipod in nicely, and carry it around with you. Yarn labia, crocheted by Superphoebe. Sexy stuff. Check out her Flicr Stream.


And be sure that this won't be the last piece of whooly sex you'll read here ;-)
