Description
Knitting in Public (or KIP) is the latest craze in suburbia. Previously knitting was a hidden pastime, executed only in the privacy of one's own home. Now you can be unashamed, and knit in public places, with these new tools for survival in the rough and tumble world of suburbia. Cook teatime with panache with our knitted cake trolley; surprise your friends at the next Tupperware party with knitted nipple tassels, or get your own back on troublesome electronic media by throwing a knitted hand-grenade at your television. Including knitted speaker covers, knitted cooking, and knitted foundation garments for doing the housework.
