Something fun!

[tahlara]

Hi! I created a thread where people can find odd and fun things that they find on the internet. They can share what they find with others.

 

I am aware that there are so many cool crochet things out there on the internet. What about the knitting projects? Here is a start.

(I am not sure about the guidelines concerning the special interest groups. So please keep it under PG rating to be safe.)

Another thought: Should I share this thread on beginner knitters group? I am not sure as it might intiminated some, yet it might inspire others. Any comments or opinions will be appreciated! Thanks.

I think that the people who are interested in the harder things will subscribe to both the beginner and the experienced pages, so I wouldn't worry about it!

[tahlara]

Ok, thanks! I feel better.

Hmm, no replies yet? Come on, don't be so shy!

Chicken Viking Hat

 

I believe there's also a crochet version out there somewhere, possibly on Craftster.com

Bahaha, if I have a nerve to make this hat, I will do it for this year's Thanksgiving Day! I can see my father wearing it. He is that doofy. Hehe.

 

Thank you for sharing the link!

The links didn't work for me.

 

About the designers, there always will be someone who doesn't like their designs. The tastes change over time. I hope they will remember someone else who DO like it. That's all what matters, in my opinion. I envied their ability to make something that I wouldn't think of. It is the absolute freedom of art and creativity.

I deleted my original sites, when I tried to test them via my post, the popups made me shut down my computer, because they wouldn't close. I will search on google for them, because I know they exist somewhere.

Ick! Sorry that it happened to you. Do you have a popup blocker ? Look forward to the links.

Maybe not the right thread for this pattern, but I didn´t know where to put it. It may seem a bit weird for those who never has seen ths before...

 

This is a pattern for people who are in love and live in cold places:

lovers mitten

And since summer is approaching, what about a bathing cap

The Lovers' Mitten is so cute! The cap looks like it can be used for other purposes too. Thank you for sharing.
