     I’m sure Diane could do this, but looks like you have another taker. Have you heard of knit bombing or yarn bombing? Do a search and check it out!

         Yes, I love yarn bombing! There’s a few examples of it in AWMOK already but it was fantastic looking at that google results page and seeing them en masse.

         I can;t remember the other links but here’s a lovely room that’s here: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/11/14/dream-bedroom/

         Not bombing but da bomb in my book: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/08/01/snuggie-2-0/

   I think we should make these.

   Thank you for my Camembert Award! I laughed like mad when I came across this advert.

     I’m completely in favor of that! Does anyone knit?

   Love this. As ridiculous as it is, I have to admit it’s a clever concept for the product and pretty well-executed too. Some Madison Avenue dude earned his pay on this one.

   Amazing. Imagine the brain storming session that came up with this concept.
