1873 Extreme knitters

I have no knit projects to show you. I'm still waiting to learn "purl." The closest I've come is raving about Cathy. However, last night I was talking to Ken Becker, a local photographer who exhibits at Winterfair, and he told me about this:



Now this is what I'd call extreme knitting. A cozy for a VW Beetle. Nowadays, there is "extreme" everything. Our church has extreme worship. Sort of resembles this.

Oh my gosh, have you ever!

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen? Who in the world would want to knit for a car? That is a hoot!!

I remember seeing something about a woman who was knitting a VW 'cozy' for her bug in either Vogue Knitting or Interweave Knits, I can't remember which. She had knit in the headlights and wheels ;o)

The windows and the headlights are uncovered... Makes me wonder if they're actually planning on driving with the cover on!
