My husband is an amazing man! Not 5 minutes ago I was going through some of today's posts and sharing with him some of the cool things I saw and this is what he says to me. "Ya know, you've suprised me quite a bit with this crochet stuff. Every day you show me something new that I had no idea could be made with crochet." Which to me is just great, my husband actually DOES pay attention to my "silly girly stuff". Not only that, but he is starting to slowly show more interest with every project. Don't get me wrong, he would NEVER even think about picking up a hook, to him crochet is well...girly...shows what he knows. ANYWAY, so here's what he asks me..."I want you to totally shock me by finding something that you could crochet that I would never dream could be made with crochet." So here's your homework. Help me blow my husbands mind with how great crochet is by helping me find the one thing I could crochet that he would never guess could be done! Thanks in advance for the help!

Feminine products. If you want to see them, or show him, you'll have to search craftster for them. All kinds of things can be found there.

Empress, I've heard stories about you! And I think you just proved them true. Is there ANYTHING you can't find patterns for?! Thanks for all your help, he is amazed!

Drew,

Even *I* wouldn't attempt that!!! Why waste all that time and effort on a BED LINER!??? Oh my, if you could see the abuse my husband gives his bed liner, I would much rather volunteer ANYTHING other than my handcrafted time to a bedliner!

 

 

But, speaking of funny things - how about insoles for his shoes?!?!? :rofl

I made that one for my friend. :)

 

And my fiance designed and made this iPod cozy for himself:

(but then he's no slouch when it comes to crafty things. He does leather work and used to do lapidary work)

I couldn't find the site, but I know there are links here on Cville for a crochetted boob, complete with nipple....the boob was used in a pillow pattern and an afghan pattern...I know it made me laugh my A** off just cause I couldn't imagine why anyone would make one, let alone make a pillow with them...and THEN I saw the afghan!!
