After starting this knitting blog I have come across lots of weird stuff that people craft and my dear friend Claire suggested that I should make a post about what is the weirdest thing you have knitted (or any other forms for crafting), received or seen.

Can’t say I have made so much weird stuff, but a few years ago I shaved my beard and complained a bit about my chins were freezing. A couple of days later a friend had knitted me a chin warmer. It looked very weird 😉

Here is a couple of odd things I have stumbled across on the world wide webz.

Bearded cap

The Icelandic knitting company Vík Prjónsdóttir have made a very bizarre looking bearded cap that you can see in the image to the right. Apparently caps like this was used by Icelandic farmers when there was heavy snowstorms and they had to walk for long distances. It covers most of your face and neck against extreme conditions.

I’m not sure why it needs a mustache though? Maybe the Icelandic farmers wanted to look cool or maybe it’s a device to remove snot? I got a hunch that this will become a trend among bank robbers who care about fashion.

Vík Prjónsdóttir sell the bearded caps for $135 a piece so might have to dry to knit my own as an alternative to the old school balaclava. If there are any bank robbers out there reading my blog please contact me for a cheaper price 😉

Knitted Mr Hanky

Found a knitted version of the South Park character called Mr Hanky, the Christmas Poo. Why anyone would want to knit Mr Hanky is beyond me, but if you want knit one yourself “Pocket Farmer” have written up the pattern that she used to knit this poop.

Now it is your turn to share your bizarre crafted discoveries. 🙂
