Some things do not have to be knit. Now I need to go fondle some Socks that Rock to make me feel better.

How sad is it that I actually came up with a use for that? This year's Burning Man theme is "The Green Man," but grass skirts (MOOPtastic things that they are) are highly discouraged. This piece of fug solves that nicely.

It still deserves to go up on You Knit What? Part Two (and I'm so thrilled that someone took up the needles when the original You Knit What? closed).

Does it make my taste suspect that I would like it, if it were a completely different color? (I'm thinking a mauve-y heathered purple.) I don't know, I'm not fringe adverse. I have something quite similar to this jacket, but in purple (http://www.blanchesplace.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/L152-preview.jpg) and I don't know if it still fits but I felt like a size 28 goddess the last time I sported it. And I spun around. A lot.

Weirdly, I like it. But then again, I've always had an irrational love for all things fringy.

I would totally wear that, if it weren't made of dead cow. sogwife likes it, too.

It would *definitely* be head turning as they say in the description.

I don't think it looks bad, but it does look like something you'd see at the Museum of Anthropology. I wouldn't wear it to work, but heck ...
