Knit Furniture

You KNOW you've thought of it.

I was giddily going through the most recent Bottery Parn catalogue (what, you don't get giddy over catalogues? I'm weird?) and lo. There be knitted furniture of a non-fugly (mostly) nature! I posted them below for formatting reasons. Namely, I don't know how to format.

So I'm thinking. And thinking. And surely, a thought begins to form. Now, I know I can't knit with seagrass. I'm probably allergic to it or something, not to mention trying to figure out how to block it, calculating gauge, or shit, going to the...nature? to find some. BUT! I bet similar items could be made using gigantor cotton/wool yarn held double or triple. Say, like, handpaintedyarn.com's bulky six-ply? That and a pair of size 50 needles, an old ottoman, and some sort of upholstery stapling device and voila! A completely random project!

Anyway, here are my favorites. Someday...someday...

Interesting. I don't see why it could be done. You could always start small with maybe a barstool cover and work your way up to slipcovers. ; )

Those look awesome! LOVE 'EM!
Forgot to mentions that catalogues are my friends, too. Can't imagine others not getting giddy over catalogues. Window shopping without the windows and tired feet! :)
Holy f-in' hell! That's fantastic!
