We've all seen the handmade horrors that are matching knitted cable jumpers for the whole family and yes, they did indeed leave us feeling slightly disturbed. But why on earth stop at your family? There's furniture needs covering!
Erika Knight's Simple Knits with a Twist: Unique Project for Creative Knitters book promises you all kind of 180s on your usual knitting patterns. It does feature some very lovely patterns indeed, such as a beaded silk scarf and a patchwork throw.
There's also this worrying cabled chair. Now imagine a whole cable-jumpered family, and possibly their dog in a similar outfit, relaxing around said piece of fibre-covered furniture while enjoying an episode of Country File.
I'd recommend a cup of hot sweet tea and a look through the latest Knitty to combat the shock.
