What the knit is THAT?!?! Comeback Edition

I fear I have been remiss in my duties so I present today, for your viewing pleasure, the Footsie.
Footsie is a felted patchwork pillow with foot warming compartments.
Despite my love for felting and entrelac, this just isn’t something I’ll be sporting any time soon.
Thoughts?

Rainbow hotpants people. My first thought was “ohmigod who would wear those?!?!” But my next thought was, hmmm those would be cute to sleep in…. I think I’m slipping people. What do you think?

All of you Firefly fans out there will appreciate this one. I must say that as a knitter, I’m slightly horrified.
I have had many a friend ask me how feasible it would be to knit Jayne’s lovely orange hat from Firefly. My answer has always been that it’s feasible, but why would one want to? What would one do with an ugly orange hat?
Well I have found a veritable treasure trove of geeky knitting. According to Knitmeister S, “With a name like Red Shirt Knitting, you know you’ve found something wonderful.” Other than the Jayne hat, I can’t disagree.

No, it’s not a Picasso. Apparently it’s your digestive system. Educational huh?

As y’all know I love knitting stuffed animals and strange objects.
But these are sort of out there… even for me. More “lovelies” can be found here.

There are many things that I don’t understand, but the most recent one is the mystery that is Freeform Knitting and/or Crocheting. Essentially you work with different materials, patterns and colors and just keep building on an object until you have an “interesting” looking hodgepodge.
Now I’m all about placing weird objects together and looking for a variety of color and texture, but please tell me just when and where this is appropriate?

I heart Knitty.com. They have some great patterns and excellent how-to’s, as well as a dedicated community of knitters. In the past I have made several items from Knitty’s pattern archives, and there are more I have my eye on.
Sadly, this is not one of them. I only ask, what would one DO with a hat like this? Elf is SO last season!
