I can't quite tell if it's a look of shame or a modelling pose for really, really, really good-looking dogs that graces the face of this crochet-bikini-wearing hound.
If you're desperate for your own pooch to parade similar wares or you just want to see more dogs in crocheted clothes see more at Posh Pooch Designs.
Good for those thrilled with the Royal madness and great for those who have had it up to here with Wills and Kate's wedding (it might be quite therapeutic to grab a needle and repeatedly jab it, in a crafty creative manner, into a bit of fabric), Cross Stitcher Magazine's Royal Kate Middleton cross stitch pattern in Issue 238 reigns supreme.
If you can't get your paws on a magazine you can download pop royalty with wailing starlet Cheryl Cole and burbling Take Thatter Gary Barlow for free online.
It's Friday and it's been a long and woolly week. What better way to end it than with cats in woolly jumpers?
The 109 Cats in Sweaters post on BuzzFeed clearly illustrates that cats really aren't meant to think they're people.
Shame on all you pet owners who put purling on your fluffy pal and a quiet hooray for you all for taking a picture before the angry feline clawed it off.
If you insist on knitting a jumper for you cat here's a handy free cat jumper pattern from the foolishly brave Christine Landry.
Just don't come crying to me when Tibbles take off one of your fingers.

Kathryn Bigelow scoops the first female Best Director Oscar, Sandra Bullock tells everyone how much she loves them, Jeff Bridges thanks everyone on the planet individually. Isn't it about time that you had your own moment dramatically clutching a shiny, bald, golden statuette to your chest?
If you're not up for embarking on a film career to get you behind that podium you can always make your own Oscar.
The Everything Mom site begins by ruthlessly shaving the head of a charity shop Barbie doll and ends up with a slightly bustier version of the coveted Oscar but with better legs.
Perfect for practising the part where you well up and talk about how honoured you are to be up there with so many other great bald golden Barbie winners.
Just remember to thank us in your speech because without Crafty Crafty you'd be Oscarless. We can say we knew you when.
"IIIIIIIIIIII want an iPhone!" you often whine as friends of yours show off their fancy schmancy gadget which is phone, PC, butler, personal shopper and answer to the universe's mysteries in a handy palm-sized package through the medium of apps. Who needs to be waiting till you have the pennies to get yourself the real deal when you can craft yourself one for the cost of a few bits of card, some glue and a few slops of paint?
The amazing Papercraft iPhone video takes you through some of the almost painfully intricate process it took one crafter to conjure themselves an iPhone out of card. The results are, quite frankly, pretty damned iPhone-like. Gloss paint, cocktail sticks and being a stickler for detail creates an iPhone replica that looks entirely like the real thing, complete with a dock and a shiny presentation box.
You can find the tutorial on the Paperartcraft blog so you can get crafting one right away.
All you need to worry about now is the dangers of getting a paper cut when you casually go to answer your first fake iPhone text.
Are you one of those shy, retiring types who's too modest to ask for a raise? Or maybe you know someone who fits that description. Either way, you can give someone the hint with these 'put upon' paperclip dudes I spotted while loitering on Etsy on a slow Monday morning.
I've had to lower them to appearing in my category for 'pointless craft' (Etsy lists them under 'something else'), but that doesn't make them any less fun. They've also got goody eyes, which of course makes them an instant hit...
I've wracked my brains, but I'm sure that the applications for a giant johnny are limited. You can dress up in it, looking disturbingly like a confused member of the Ku Klux Klan, use it as a makeshift sleeping bag on cold nights or lend it to a blue whale (or other phallically gifted creature). But beyond that, I'm a bit stumped.
But that didn't stop Etsy member Little Elk from making the huge prophylactic, which is 100 times actual size. It does come with some rather nice pillows, that are made to look like large-scale condom packets, and have pockets to store actual condoms. Aha! So at last, there we have it. A use.
