Knitting Art

2008
That’s right, folks, a knitting book that is not safe for work. Click through at your own peril.
Submitter would especially like to draw your attention to the knitted land mines, which look like…well, not land mines.
The author did call it art…

Just for kicks, take a look at this book at Amazon.com too (but not at work!)
A pervy knitting book-I dunno….A definite keeper in MY library.
I checked this out of my own public library last week! This is in my house right now! BRB, gotta go read pervy knitting book.
Who’s that in the blurry picture on p. 111? A knit ninja??
Apparently it’s a “Big Blue Rabbit.” At least that’s what I think I can make out in the caption when I expand the image.
I laughed when I saw the naked suits. Is that bad? 🙂
Ever see any of them in action?

Best blog entry I could find with them.
So did I…my first thought was “really?”
Does anyone else see a massive lynching on the cover of this book? No? Just me? Ok then.
I was thinking Pompeii plaster casts.
Aside from the creep factor, those body suits look ultra uncomfortable.
Yes, and it says they’re mohair? Ugh! So itchy!
Question: Were they wearing anything under their knitted naked suit?
I’ve seen a picture of a family in knitted nude suits before (though not that picture, the other I found in the blog I linked in the reply to Lora’s post) – I didn’t know the photo was as recent as 2001. It always gave me a 1960s/1970s “hippie” vibe. Like one of those families that wants to teach kids to “love their bodies and not be ashamed of nudity” without them actually running around naked.
Seems like a lot of wasted energy knitting a “naked suit” when everyone already has a birthday suit.
Some people are into that, like zentai fetishists.
Gotta love the knitted weapons.
Hehehehe. My 12 year old mind thought it was something else.
I’ll take the skirt and leave the land mines…
