And there's more...

Hello, just a quickie to say we'll be back in the safer waters of vintage book finds tomorrow - I hadn't realised that post was going to be quite so contentious. Thanks for all your comments regarding Mollie Makes - especially the one from Jane Toft, editor of the magazine and not devoid of a sense of humour. Phew! [Obviously if they have a feature next month on how to model a wax effigy or crochet your own voodoo doll, then I'll retract that last statement]. Oh, and before we leave the subject, I just have to share my excitement that I have in fact found 'the crafting Paris Hilton';  aka Cairo Sheraton, the so-so socialite.

The chihuahua said 'Mollie Makes', the lack of pants said Penthouse...

Cairo Sheraton, made by Croshame available from Etsy
 {don't click if you'll be offended by a crocheted cooch!}

If I had to choose someone to make a voodoo doll in my image, I'd like it to be Croshame please. I've just discovered her blog and her work, which is all kinds of excellent. Crocheted scene from The Exorcist, anyone? 

Regan knew she shouldn't have eaten that felt asparagus for lunch...


Oh ok, she does fun food too. 

Ouch Cream - Aww.

    Man I wish I could crochet AWSOME things like this. I did crochet my dog a ball and he rather liked it for awhile.. then got bored with it like everything else.
    I can also make hats and scareves... but that is about it.

    I want a crochet LOBSTER!

    Now this kind of crocheted item, I understand! They are great, aren't they? I like the Sid and Nancy figures on Etsy too (in a gruesome kinda way...)
    Hey Lakota, you're famous now (even more famous, that is) if you're getting magazine editors commenting. Perhaps she'll offer you a guest spot on non-vegetable-based crafting? A whole new career beckons... xx

    I'm so glad there's a dark side to crochet. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me because I had no desire for wholesome, feminine wares!

    Ha you definitely opened a can of worms with your post on Mollie makes. They should be really pleased though, they say no publicity is bad publicity.

    These made me laugh but I am still not sure I get the whole crochet thing unless it is something you can wear.

    Blimey, what is the crocheted world coming to? Crocheted fruit and veg one week and now crocheted scenes from horror films. What happened to good old fashioned crocheted cushion covers and poodle toilet roll holders? That's what I want to know!

    Another good blog (about bizarre patterns, crocheted or otherwise) is Handmade by Mother http://handmadebymother.blogspot.com/
