The Knitting Fiend

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Fun Fur in France
is knit into fuzzy tops
and floppy berets.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I’ve often shown clothes knit out of novelty yarns — mostly unwearable. I’m not sure I’d wear this to and beret, but I have to admit, it’s more attractive than Annie Modesit’s fun fur halter top! (Do people in New Jersey wear the stuff Annie designs?)

---

The patterns for the top and beret are by Phildar. The pattern for the halter is from Knitty.)

Stumble it (and place in Knitting/crochet!)

3. The furry halter top is definitely not Annie’s best work, but most of her other designs are gorgeous. Sometimes designers go a little off the deep end trying to come up with things that are original and fun. I have to admit I did see a few strikingly similar things being worn by 20-somethings in Dallas during one summer when halters and handkerchief tops were extremely trendy.

4. I really like this French fun fur design. I’m not
   sure with my size I could get away with it, but heck why
   not? I think the halter would be great fun at a party,
   or now on Beale Street for the big New Years bash.
   always love your site. take care love Pam

5. If I had the body to pull off that halter top I’d wear it in a New York Minute. Not that I like the halter top, which I really don’t, I just want the BOD!

6. I live in New Jersey and can testify that i have never seen anyone in a fur halter top (fun fur or otherwise).

7. One of the thing I love about fashion is that fact that thing can be so different. I love the design. who cares if it’s different most of the styles anyway are around a little while before anybody catches on.

8. I an in the same boat as Logan. I’m from central jersey, and I don’t know a single person who would wear that halter top seriously.

9. i wonder if it is comfortable to wear. it’s like you hugging someones who has hairy body

   But i do like a woman wearing similar textile but in an exotic design.

12. I’ve noticed you haven’t been posting much lately. Mostly the haikus which are funny and all, but I miss the other stuff too. I do hope you are just busy with work or are taking an extended vacation. I’ve seen so many great bloggers give up the ghost in the last few months. :O(

13. If I’m in Paris, I’d definitely wear this fuzzy top. Instead of the beret, I’d wear it with a matching small, knit, fuzzy ponytail.

14. I know fashions come back and cycle through, but isn’t that a tad old school.

15. This is the first time I have ever heard one knitter put down another one. I’m not sure I like it,

16. Wow, that model makes that look good…but it would look better on the floor. *wink* All joking aside, I bet the knitted one took quite a while to make.

17. My girlfriend started to knit recently. I used to make fun of her, but now I think it’s cool.

18. I don’t think it’ll be useful for a normal person.
