So it's day 2 of the Knit & Crochet Blog Week. Last night in a valium haze I had an unexpected lightning bolt of inspiration about today's blog post.
And then I forgot.
And then I remembered again and, against the will of my body, managed to write myself a reminder on my phone.
It's not one pattern per se, it's more of a style of knitting or crocheting that I aspire to. I simply love the pointless, inanimate, functionless. Cupcakes, tea sets, televisions, whole bloody villages. Yes, fiber crafts can be exceptionally functional but give me something pointless any day. That to me is true art, true expression and one day I hope to find the time and patience to embark on a project so epic and so pointless it will make the Gods weep.
Some examples:
And why not stick some crochet willy warmers in at the end too - not necessarily useless but if you can get your man to wear one then I demand pictures.

Hahahaha!!! Brilliant post.
hmm yummy these little crochet cupcakes :) love that !
Similarly, the cute little flowers and bugs featured in the new KnitPicks catalog... in between cardigans and socks, those look like fun little projects.
love the willy warmers and the knitted cars but I simply cannot cope with knitted cakes...you look so tasty..yet i cannot eat you? I can only look at you????
That knitted village is the best! I heard it was up for auction a while back. It would be nice if they were able to keep it in one piece.
