Knitted Ephemera

They're not the most useful things on earth, but if street signs can get a knitted makeover, why can't strollers get a little more personal?  Buggy Socks as seen on Swiss Miss.

Eep... I think my bump is going to my head!  I promise I won't make a habit of this cootchee cootchee coo stuff... but I cannot make the same promise about knitted uselessness.

Having A Yarn

Might need to get my personal knitting fairy to make me something like these bangles from Elinor Voytal... or I could just buy them here.  But jaysus... they certainly are pricey at 85 quid per bangle.

Porcelain? More Like Richelain!

My sister-in-law apparently hates the little porcelain cups based on dented disposable plastic cups because as a ceramics student they were a simple first year assignment.  As a result, she finds them unoriginal and basic (to which my response is: 'okay, so if it is so easy make me a set'... only like many of my wittiest responses, it never made it to my lips).  But that leads me to think that creating a porcelain piece from an existing texture, such as knitwear, was maybe a later year assignment, but Alyssa Ettinger has created some beautiful things using that principle.  I know a keen knitter, and I know a one time ceramicist... or perhaps I should just place an order on Big Cartel.

Verdict: Pottery or Potty?
