Friday Frivolities : Giveaway Winner and Some Random Knitted Things

Good Morning People!  Well today I am going to reveal the winner of the giveaway.  

It is comment number 8 from Melissa (www.mgold16.blogspot.com).  Melissa is from Victoria, Australia also and so I just know that she is going to get a lot of use from this scarf with all of this terribly cold weather we've been having!

Congratulations Melissa!  If you could drop me an email with your postal address, I will get it in the mail to you as soon as possible (bokbokbgerk {at} gmail {dot} com).

Ok, now onto Friday Frivolities.  Since it's so cold and I have been doing a lot of 'wool' related crafts lately, I thought I would share with you a couple of things I stumbled across this week while looking for things to knit with some left over wool.  

What I discovered, is that wool can be used to create absolutely lovely things, but also some very, very horrible things.

Rye Brye's blog has an assortment of wool 'goodness', like this transformer hat:


Looks pretty normal right?  Until it 'transforms' into this:


Umm... ok.  Kind of just a little bit scary.

Perhaps you're in the market for a pair of Rainbow Hotpants?

or require a giant knitted bunny that took FIVE YEARS to make!


Can't say I'm that keen.  I think I might just make another pair of pippy slippers.  

Enjoy your weekend!
