Fringe Necklace

Here's another of those great gift idea projects that you can whip out in no time flat when a birthday or other special occasion sneaks up on you:

Such a creative way to use up those partial skeins that have a way of accumulating.

Last Minute Crafting

Just realized you accidentally left someone off your Christmas gift list? 

Not to worry!  We've got you covered. You can whip up this no-effort necklace in the blink of an eye! 

Simply twist together a couple small skeins of yarn (we know you have some to spare), and voilà!  A "unique" gift sure to fill the recipient with delight joy speechlessness:

I dare you to find an easier, faster yarn-based hand-crafted gift!

Barnacle Arm

Given the obviously serious case of barnacle arm this model's been struck with, her positive attitude is quite inspiring!

(They should totally make a poignant TV movie about her struggle to overcome the stigma of barnacle arm.)

Elegance

If you liked the crochet needle necklace featured on Yarn Yuck last month, but want something a little more understated, these earrings are for you:

Ooh.  Aah. 
See, they use metal needles.  So much classier than those brightly colored plastic ones!  Now, these would be perfect for your wedding day or a night at that fancy-schmancy French restaurant.

I still think these needle-based jewelry projects just stink of desperation. 

"We already offer eleventy-billion free patterns for scarves, hats, and every conceivable use for eyelash yarn... What else can we entice people make with our products?"

"Well, Bob, I've always thought that our darning needles sales were deplorably low.  If we could just think of some way to get people to buy more of those..."

Desperate for New Ideas

This is how you know a yarn manufacturer is desperate for new ideas for free patterns...

When they come up with things like this:

So, you take a few plastic darning needles, wrap some crochet thread around them and TA-DAH!  Jewelry!

Choking Hazard

"OMG!

"I'm somehow like choking myself with this necklace! 

"No, seriously, guys!  It's not funny!  Somebody help me!!"

A Case of the Munchies

Though they don't focus entirely on yarn, there's a fair bit of crochet and knit in the archives over at The Fashion Police, which is where I found this very. . . unique dress fashioned after a hamburger.  (Well, technically, I guess it's a cheeseburger. . .)

The same designer behind the cheeseburger dress, Joy Kampia O'Shell, has also created other unusual food-themed items for wear, including this donut necklace:

Crocheted junk food to wear?  Who am I to judge?

(Especially since I may or may not sell food-themed jewelry online. . .)
