I have no idea. Mohair is pretty itchy stuff, so it would certainly appeal to the massochists :hihi: .

Isobel (mohair knitter) is for real - she's a wondefully funny and intelligent lady. A lot of her clothes sell to Germany, and apparently it is purely a fetish thing, but she makes a healthy living from her knitting, so good luck to her!

That catsuit isnt at all flattering - now the balaclava top on the other hand:hihi:

Lol, oh my god how hideous!! :hihi:

I suppose if you are a bloke/woman with a truely hidiously ugly wife/husband .... it'd be the perfect pressie

I can only begin to imagine how itchy that would be. I'm hypersensitive, and mohair and such drives me crazy, makes me itch just thinking about it *shudder*

That and a pair of them Toe-Socks....

*runs away screaming*

I don't think the knitter's intelligence or humour are in question; indeed she appears to have found her niche. The 'garments' are still the most fugly knitted items I've ever had the misfortune of seeing though :hihi: .

Is sexual fetishism allowed in knitting circles? :gag:

I don't know whether anyone has already seen these, but whilst we're at it I thought I would share them. I received them in an email entitled 'Knitting For Psychos.'
