Hot or Not.

Ok. I am addicted to knitting like a fish is addicted to water.

Now, I'm always game to knit something new or unusual. But sometimes the things that intrigue me may not be the most sociable mainstream items.

First up is the digestive tract.

Now, I'm not a biologist or doctor or anything medical of the sorts, but I stumbled across this and fount it fascinating! A good enough excuse to use waste yarn.

I have knitted the next item up to bat. The womb. 'Nuf said. Now there is a picture of one that someone took to the next step. They added an eye patch and an eye to it.

Very clever, I think.

Now we need to represent both sexes here. So, now may I present to you: Sperm!

Some how I find these things fascinating! So off the wall and quite possibly shocking to some. I love it.

Ok, these next few photos are for that biologist in you (or possibly the curious).




The top row of photos is a dissected frog and the bottom row are photos of a dissected lab rat. Both are knitted. How cool!

Now on something less gross but just as cool

This is a "hat" (term used loosely) that's done up to look like you have your hair up in curlers. Tres funny. Desperate Housefrau is the name of the pattern/look.

Ok. Last whimsical/odd knitting item is a Hallowig. Basically a "wig" you knit yourself that has bangs incorporated.

So, if you havent been totally grossed out by some of the knitted items and you've made it this far, the following is probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen.



Some of the pictures I got off of estonia76's flicker (like the Lab Rat), and i was paroosing her photo stream (b/c she knits/crochet and I like to see what others have done) and came across the Sheep-Romper!

Odd City Names

This fasicnation started on my way out to college, of noting odd city names (well, not writing them down but just mentally noting).

Granted I dont remember any from our long 17 hr trip, but I do remember some, more local names.

Pennsylvania has some unique names, Intercourse, Blueball, and Bird in Hand (I've been to Intercourse and it's not half bad - lovely town).

There are some just as unusual names out there too. I found some sites that list the names. One is one with only national city names, while the other is an international one. (I did come across a page of city names worked into a crossword puzzle).


Granted, I live in Maryland, and I thought I would have heard of the unusual city names from the state I live in. Here is the list: Accident, Boring, Cockeysville (proncounced Cock-eyes-ville, granted I've heard of this but didnt give it a second thought), Flinstone, Secretary, and Unicorn.

Well, that's enough rambling for this posting. Enjoy!
