It seeems that my knitting, which is going quite nicely by the way, is pretty conservative compared to some of the underground knitting I have been discovering lately. A quick look in the library today and I found a few books which made me feel truly nanna-ish in my knitting experiences. Obviously, I need to get out more. Take the two ladies above, for example, from the book Naughty Needles by NiKol Lohr. These ones are Ice Vixen and Cave Girl. Very practical for winter!
These cute little pillows are from the book below, Domiknitrix by Jennifer Stafford. It's actually pretty tame compared to Naughty Needles...no fur-trimmed knitted undies or anything.

This one is great if you have nothing to wear.....full of last minute things to whip up before you head out for a night of death metal or rockabilly. I have this problem quite a lot actually, so this book will be helpful.
And here's the boring old nanna knitting. Oh well, I am at my happiest sitting in front of the fire with a blanky over the knees. I know plently of you are the same..... I can't wait to have a look around and see what you have all been making this week, whether it is nanna or naughty!
hahahahahaha... you're funny! & I must join in with your nanna knits I think. Can't wait to see what you whip up for your next night out! hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWell done, nanna! Love the wine-y color you're working with...just the thing for Fall.
ReplyDeleteWhoah, I think I'll go blind after reading this post! Thanks for the laugh...
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...too many junior prying eyes to go naughty but that would be fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely fantastic, I know deep down I was secretly crying out for some raunchy knit books and now you have sent me in the right direction. I love it, so funny.
ReplyDeleteHey Lotes, any chance of combining nana and naughty? Naughty Nanna Knits? You could start a whole new genre of woolly inspiration with fabulous over sixties models. I'm sure there are some pretty racy nanna's out there...xo
ReplyDeletegive me a knee blankie in place of a mohair bikini any day. itchy!
