The Knitting Fiend

Poor Barbie is trapped.
Held prisoner by crochet.
Oh, please, release her.

 

I usually shrink images, but had to show a large image so you could see “Beaded Barbie” held captive in her crochet jail. The sculpture was created by Karen Search and exhibited in a show called “Image & Reality”. It’s from the Crochet guild of America.

 
Crochet is easy.
Even barbie can learn how.
She uses fun fur!

This crocheting doll image is from Lion Brand. Of course. That’s why she’s using fun fur!

 
Backgammon is cool
but fancy boards are costly.
So you can knit one.

Oh, I bet you didn’t think I could do this: Make backgammon seem even remotely relevant to a knitting blog. Well, you are wrong! See?

I’ll admit, I would never have thought to knit a backgammon board. But it does have advantages: You can roll it up and take it on vacation. You can store it in your sock drawer at college. It’s a very handy.

The pattern? I found it at knitwhits.
