Oddest crafting links - people actually MADE these

Crocheted toilet roll and poo (!)

What in the heck is the point of this?? why crochet a cover for a rock?? and what on earth would you do with it once finished?

Again - WHY make these? you can't EAT them, and they're not particularly decorative, as all they do is remind you that you can't EAT them.

I keep harping on about how stitching can be cool...slash an artform...but seriously - if someone starts doing this, they're totally undermining my entire point. WHY would you stitch the inside of your knee?

Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum - this site demonstrates that doing NOTHING at all can be interesting too...

Found this interesting stitcher

She's working in London - and works on traditional samplers, with a modern twist: see here.

Intriguing...it seems that she was actually commissioned by Vogue to do a piece last year - so stitching absolutely can be cool, even fashionable??!
