My friend's step sister is 14-years-old, has a terrible attitude and looks like a depressed 30-year-old. When she received this as a birthday present her arm cuffs nearly blew off. This is a great present for emo-siblings and crafty punk mamas and it is a much healthier hobby than smoking Marlboro Reds at the ice rink. (via Amazon)

when i first saw this, i said, how the hell did she get her hair like that, but once i realized that i was just stupid and that it was a hat, i understood a lot more. i always used to think knitting was for grandmas, although i tried to do it, since they always made such happy like blankets and pot holders that looked like cows and stuff.... this is f-ing great... if i had the patience (and talent) to knit, this is totally what i would make :D

fantastic book

"The knitted Mohawk hat is officially the coolest woolen creation I have ever seen and I am the hugest fan of Jaqui and Alyce's madly skilled yarn crafting talents." Michele Romero, Entertainment Weekly
