They even had a review of The State of Craft, the craft book I contributed to!
Anyways, I was immediately taken by the mug cozies on the cover of one of the mags. A cute and quick project! I made a few for Christmas gifts for friends. Of course I had fun embroidering on cute quirky sayings...mostly plays on the word "hot," since all my girlfriends are so darn sexy ;) "I'm hot," "Hot stuff," "Too hot to handle"....stuff like that! Here is an example of one of them:
And this one I modified for take out coffee:
So I thought I would send a little something back over the ocean to Alison in thanks. Since she claims to be knitting-impaired, and she has this terrible cough every time I post about a hat I have knit, I thought I would make one for the poor dear to keep her warm. And I didn't even make one mistake on this one! Well, not after the third time I unraveled it and started again, anyhow. A bloody miracle. I am sure it will be revered ;) Check it, Peeps!
Alison had also requested that I send a "naked Canadian Mountie" her way. Unfortunately, I couldn't cooerse one into the envelope. If I come across one, though, I will be sure to knit him up one of these:
Or this?
Or, since you live on a little island, perhaps something nautical? That's a love anchor, right?

I don't know whether I want to laugh over those last photos or cry because someone actually took the time to make something like that! Hilarious and yet disturbing at the same time!!
The purple hat is so cute, love :)
Thank you so much for posting this funny stuff all the time. I read the link you posted last time: http://ocd-obsessivecraftingdisorder.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-humpday-need-laugh.html,
to my colleague and we had such good laughs!!! Thanks again, allthough I wouldn´t want to meet a guy in these shorts, I think they are funny.
You. Crack. Me. Up.
Someone definitely has too much time on their hands!! LOL!! Think I've seen everything now...
Hehehe...too funny! The hat you made is beautiful...lucky Alison! Smiles~Beth
Now, that was a great way to start my morning!
Thanks! ;)
Oh. dear. Lord.
Some people have way too much time on their hands...
Thanks for the laugh!
Jennifer :)
Oh, snap! I read the disclaimer AFTER spewing coffee all over my desk. ;-)
LOL!!! What a great morning laugh from knitting humor- thanks!
lol, i think the disclaimer needs to be before the photos!! omg....someone made those! on the other hand i love your "hot" cup holders
OMG, I was laughing just at the title of the post, and then when I read the whole thing... yours is by FAR the most highly entertaining blog I read.
I love the Mollie Makes magazines-- so cool that you have a whole pile of them! The aesthetic they capture is beautiful.
I love love the hat you knitted! I keep meaning to make one of those slouchy hats-- pretty much every time I see yours! Also, the mug cozies are so adorable-- yet another thing I want to copy off of you!
And, as for those shorts... well, there are no words :) Plus, ending the post with a "Namaste" was perfect. I love your sense of humor!
OMG, I can't stop laughing.
Yeah, the choking hazard disclaimer should have been at the beginning of the post. Diet Coke up the nose!~
Still laughing!
ditto what Stephanie said, LOL. Hilarious and disturbing, hehe. Glad hubby didn't see me looking at THOSE pics ::snickers::
Bah ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! OH MY GOSH! I am DYING right now!!! Those things are are quite hilarious and disturbing:)
BLUSH! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!
I love this magazine! (Also, there's an ipad version that I think is a little bit cheaper than the print version. And here in the states, we never get the printed issue in stores until the following issue is already out in the UK!)
And those knit shorts are so scary. I think I've seen them before. *shudder*
Thanks for the laugh! This falls under, just because you can make something doesn't mean you should :):):)!
Ha ha ha...though not as funny as my post about it of course ;-)
love the hat, but those last photos are too funny!! lol!!
OK, I should not have looked at my Google Reader during lunch at work. People came to my desk from all over to see what I was laughing about. Thank you... from all of us!
hahhaha! wonderful boxers...
someone even got a guy to model them!!
Sick! I read this at work and about had a heart attack when I scrolled down and saw that on the screen - thank god nobody walked by, haha!
Seeing pictures of the male anatomy always makes me thankful my lady bits are neatly tucked inside my body where I don't have to look at them, LOL!
Now that is a post with something for everyone!
That is so funny - I bet Alison is commissioning a pair for Mr.R right now!!
Ha ha, that's so funny! Not very practical though.
Even funnier is my word verification is 'peeings'
It was all going well till the Mounties... mind you, by the looks of things I wouldn't entirely mind one of them mounting me. After he'd taken that thing off first though, I'm very allergic to wool ;o)
I nearly peed in my pants reading this! Thanks for the laugh!
Oh man, that is hilarious!
Oh, you're hilarious, those photos are SO funny. I'm still laughing here :-)
ps, nice hat!
you are too funny!! So have you tried to find a pattern yet?? hehehe
Just did a spit take with my diet coke, sister. I'm sure I was going to comment on your other projects, but all I can think about are knit-covered man bits.
You are too fun!
I am scarred for life. Now I'm going to forward this post to my mom.
Wow, amazing. Believe it or not a friend had told me about something similar she saw at a craft fair in Norway, but she didn't have any pics... that is really something.
Oh my, that is too funny! :)
What a great post!! Maybe someone in the quilting world needs to come up with a pattern for a quilted version of the knitted shorts...however I am not volunteering!
