Knitting Gone Bad

January 28th, 2008

Killer Alpaca SocksKiller socks? Socks to die for?

No. Socks that make Australia’s Melanie grab the closest kitchen knife to stab herself in the foot once she wears one of the socks on her hand. She quips, “I have been killed by these lovely wool/alpaca socks.”

Oh, I don’t know; other than the green being a bit horrid, they’re not that bad, assuming that the apparent color mismatch is caused by the camera’s flash.

Although it is interesting to discover that ten minutes later on the same Friday the 13th, a 25-year-old South Carolinian (who enjoys “drooling on spinning wheels“) also claimed to have been killed by the same socks.

Is it a coincidence that both were made from alpaca? Maybe the alpaca is finally taking its revenge for that footsie pillow…

(I know I’ve said that I’m going to shy away from knitting, and I do sometimes, but there is just so much stuff out there to pick on!)
