Knitted poo

[Cross stitch ninja]

A knitted poo I made for a friend's birthday, inspired by a post on Radical cross stitch: http://radicalcrossstitch.com/2008/02/27/knit-poo/
It's filled with lavender, so it's perfect for those especially nice sheets in the linen cupboard!



It started with the knitted one, but I also made her a poo-shaped warmer, filled with wheat grains. For cold days: it will get warm and comfy after a few minutes in the microwave.

LOL - you have to get a pic of your friend holding up the knitted poo to take a whiff of the lavender!

Seriously (well, as serious as any comment about crafty poo can be) - those are awesome and so creative!

Haha no way! Poo that smells like lavender.  Brilliant.

She really liked them and immediately started planning what to do with the little one. I imagine it being planted on strategical places around the house in a near future. "Poo? Who, me? No, it was the cat!"

And they're so easy to make! I more or less made it up as I went along.

Both of them are basically made of cylinders. The knitted one i just knitted stockinette stitch until it was the right length and then decreased a few stitches a few rows before I cast off, to get the right shape in the end. I also made a cylinder of fabric (slightly smaller than the knitted part) to stuff the lavender in so it wouldn't leak out and sewed the cover around it. And the wheat bag I made from slightly curved rectangles that I cut round in the ends to get them in the right shape too.
