Oh my Lord! Just because you can sell your handknits on Ebay doesn’t mean you should! And the cost for this precious number – $399 US for Buy It Now! Ebay needs new standards on what to allow and what not to allow – this is beyond hideous.
Anyone want to look like a hairy pink ape? The designer should’ve knit it right to the top of her head to at least cover her face.
This person is a Power Seller on Ebay too…go figure! If you want to see more of the outrageous creations, click here. I could fill WNTK with this stuff.
Thanks to Catherine for sending in this submission.
UPDATE: Oh gosh golly, it does go over your head! I can’t stop laughing over these monstrosities…LOL Just what the h*ll was this designer thinking? And to think she makes sales too….oh me oh my! I love how the colour changes from one picture to the next too – first it’s purple then nope, it’s pink…which is it?
August 30, 2006 at 3:19 pm
Well, yes… she’s made some sales, but mostly what she’s sold (at least recently) has been novelty mohair willy warmers. A pair of socks and a couple of more normal sweaters, as well… but none of the more crazy stuff, like the dresses/pants/shorts/catsuits.
I just cringe on how much she’s spent in time and money to make all of those things that have practically no chance at ever selling.
August 30, 2006 at 3:29 pm
This isn’t solely a result of a designer gone mad, it’s actually a fetish subculture. More websites than you would think are devoted to the wearing of itchy mohair clothing. I say if the person can make good money on eBay catering to the subculture, good for them.
August 30, 2006 at 4:05 pm
There’s a point when you just need to put the needles down and walk way.
Just walk away.
August 30, 2006 at 4:08 pm
I keep trying to find the words for my reaction to this latest item. I am so stunned. I can’t do it.
Is it a sweatsuit? Jogging outfit? Is she serious? And why two of them?
August 30, 2006 at 4:37 pm
That’s just incredible.

Rolling on the floor laughing here in Norway! Who would ever knit or even wear a thing like this?
August 31, 2006 at 8:08 am
the one that had me particularly gobsmacked was the mohair BRA … can we say I-T-CH-Y ?
August 31, 2006 at 8:30 am
ok that did not help my insomnia at all! Quite scary…only thing I can think of is “HOLY S**t seriously what the hell were you thinking” if she wanted a challenge why not just try to create your own lace pattern or something… or I should say..SOMETHING tasteful
August 31, 2006 at 12:44 pm
It’s people like this that give all knitters a bad name.
August 31, 2006 at 1:59 pm
Holy Sh*t! Just what I need–a bulky shapeless garment, that’s FUZZY, I’d look like a hairy Hindenburg. And people are placing bids on these monstrosities………..I think I need to lie down. And may I be naughty for a moment? If my man could “fill out” that gray willie warmer (if you know what I mean), he wouldn’t NEED a warmer, I’d be all over him. sheesh……maybe the yarn stretches or something. How long does she think it needs to be? And where are the men that can fill that thing out? THAT I need. sheesh.
August 31, 2006 at 4:05 pm
I have to agree with Annabel Lee–it’s gotta be a fetish thing. Wow.
August 31, 2006 at 4:07 pm
Fetish case confirmed solely by this item. Can you even breathe in it?
August 31, 2006 at 8:10 pm
she already asked you knit what part 2 to take her stuff down
http://youknitwhattwo.blogspot.com/2006/08/so-long-mohair.html
August 31, 2006 at 11:31 pm
Oops, she’ll probably be here to ask WNTK to take it down too….we’ll see…time will tell!
September 1, 2006 at 1:14 am
So glad that the baton of knitted fug bashing has been passed to this site. Thanks, ladies!
September 1, 2006 at 4:56 am
To be honest… I don’t really like it either. I most certainly wouldn’t wear it. But where do people get off using her photos and bagging her for her style? If she can knit it and she thinks she can sell it, then let her. She’s not hurting anybody.
Comments such as “It’s people like this that give all knitters a bad name.” are really quite hypocritical. It’s people who feel the need to bash other people’s work that give all knitters a bad name.
September 1, 2006 at 11:24 am
Why would the designer want WNTK to take her work down? It’s posted on the web! If she’s ashamed of what she’s done, then why post it to begin with?
This design leaves me feeling assaulted and wanting the perpetrator locked up…
September 2, 2006 at 7:42 am
Yeah, I remember seeing these things before. The very thought of them makes my skin want to crawl away, lest I attempt to put something like this on it.
September 3, 2006 at 12:16 am
How on Earth do you find these things/creations?! LOL
September 4, 2006 at 5:42 am
eh. doesn’t bother me. i mean, it had to be knitted with irony. i do truly believe that. in the days where everyone irons their bleached hair and wears paris hilton shades, i am oddly attracted to the dr. seuss creations if only for something totally different. different is so hard to come by nowadays.
not like that halloween thing. thematic sweaters aren’t ironic (for the most part). they’re just you gee ell wye!

The title of this pairing should be “The Foreskin and The Camel Toe.” Yikes.

I’ve started a new thing to do to my family…everyday I change our computer desktop background to something…anything. Yesterday it was a giant pirate skull, day before that a knitted robot (kinda cute, actually). Today? Well, I can’t wait for them to see the giant, fluffy. HK ape lady. O, you think it’s funny? Wait til you stretch it on the computer to fit the desktop!
LOL. I kill me, I tell ya.
September 18, 2006 at 6:55 pm
Y’all, Annabel Lee hit it on the head in comment #2. This is part of a fetish subculture.
http://www.wooljunky.com/
(Don’t be scared off by the warning splash page… it’s mostly cheeky rather than “obscene”, though all of it is just odd if, like me, you don’t share the fetish.)
This knitter? You should worship her. She’s found people willing to pay what her knitting is actually worth.
September 20, 2006 at 8:20 am
Wow. And I thought I create strange things… with my knitted tissue covers etc. for my christmas basar… yes I am outing myself… thanks for this creative boost, now I will try out my items with 4 strands of mohair… no, only joking. And as I almost knit EVERYTHING, I even got an order for a willy thing too… but I denied, I think I couldn’t stop laughing while making it and would never get it completed. Even without the mohair.
There’s also a skirt outfit in black: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160026346568&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=160023662996&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget
Zabet is right – and don’t forget that there is a buyer for almost EVERYTHING, at most at ebay. People can buy it or leave it and if she has enough money to take the risk in purchasing this mass of expensive material and work for days or weeks on it without a guarantee of someone buying it, okay. Maybe she is bored and needs projects that take long (I go to the opposite extreme – I only do projects which are done really fast).
Even though she takes this very seriously (otherwise I can’t understand her reaction about banning her stuff from WNTK) she should see the benefit – the more people see, the more people talk about it and to be honest – maybe someone around would LOOOOOVE to wear this and is desperate as the local fetish store can’t provide with this or with a big enough bag to hide it
Can’t imagine the itch.
September 23, 2006 at 1:04 pm
I love too wear Mohair, and i don´t think it´s wrong too wear it!
If u all people here just understand that we all are different….so….there is no problem.
If i have the money i would by her stuff today!
Keep on knitting mohairstuff.
A fuzzy hug too u ALL from Sweden
September 24, 2006 at 4:23 am
Wow…just…wow…granted those aren’t the most flattering pictures but could ANYONE look good in something like that? Maybe it’s made to be worn under something in the farthest reaches of the North Pole. It surely can’t be meant as outerwear.
October 4, 2006 at 6:39 am
[...] Perhaps it takes a deviant and dirty mind to think these deviant and dirty thoughts. Although we live in a very knowing age, it can still be a surprisingly innocent one. Certainly, I was astonished by the naivete of the conversation about this particular piece of what is obviously fetish-gear. (If the link from that image does not work, then try the knitter’s main page instead). It seems that the darker aspects of human sexuality are being re-wrapped in ways which are cute, fluffy and frequently pink. I am reminded of Anjelica Huston’s line in Addams Family Values: “You have gone too far. You have married Fester, you have destroyed his spirit, you have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But Debbie… pastels?” [...]
October 5, 2006 at 6:41 pm
good thing it covers her head cuz there is no way I would want someone to see me in this………and if this is your fetish, then please leave the house, go to a bar, drink and find a real person cuz this is just too sick!!
October 7, 2006 at 8:45 pm
Is it for members of the Taliban to wear as undies?
October 10, 2006 at 2:58 pm
1. Apparently nobody is reading the other comments. It states clearly in some of her auction titles “sweater fetish”. The items are meant to be exaggerated for those who get off on huge, itchy sweaters. Not saying I get it, but critiquing the item on a regular fashion scale doesn’t really apply.
2. Posting someone’s photo – even a photo posted on the web – can be a copyright violation, and a serious one. Just because I publish a blog on the internet doesn’t absolve me of my rights to copyright that content, same goes for photos.
October 13, 2006 at 3:32 pm

October 14, 2006 at 5:34 pm
Giant…purple…sasquatch. Or Barney Wanna-Be. Just. Frightening. If I ever run into someone wearing one of those, I may just wet myself in public.
October 17, 2006 at 1:44 pm
she did sell it!!!!!! for $399!!!!! holy cow! if you search her completed items, she has done fairly well. how is this possible? a really big mohair sweater dress for $200? consumers should be ashamed of themselves. sheesh
October 19, 2006 at 1:08 am
How do you get into it? Also here in Texas that would be just a little warm, especially when the low for today was 88 degrees.

Oh and are the strings tied around it for fasion,to keep it on or to have strings tied around you?
October 23, 2006 at 10:32 am
We were checking out her E-bay stuff at my cousin’s yarn shop yesterday. She has this pink sweater-ish thingy that comes up around, but not over, her head…it looks like she’s being given birth to!!!!! I thought my cousin was going to wet herself…I think it’s a family trait.

To those going on about copyright violation, this site could be considered a parody – completely protected by U.S. Law. And, it could also fall under Fair Use since it is being used for “educational” purposes. I’m not a lawyer, but I think a case could be made for both.

Hi
We all live in differnet worlds…As you may have realised I knit alot of mohair for fetish knitwear…I am knitting for customers who gladly appreciate my knitting…Whilst alot of you will not understand this fetish and to be honest with you i dont expect you too….But I have to say thank god I do not have to knit tea cosies and tissue boxes…now they would drive me crazy….I love knitting mohair…and isnt that what knitting is all about….Keep looking on ebay….keep looking at mohairknitter.com…maybe I will inspire you to knit something that makes people happy….Keep on knitting your tea cosies…and you know what try and open your minds a bit more….
FUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY HUGS
February 20, 2007 at 5:59 am
LOL @ isobel….you don’t like tea cosies, some just don’t like mohair. So it sounds like you have a definite opinion on tea cosies so hey, people can have their opinions about mohair cat suits too. That’s the way it works. So maybe some minds should open up to knitted tea cosies too…just sayin’.
February 21, 2007 at 11:29 pm
LOL…but I dont get it….Why would you knit tea cosies….only joking….
Tea cosies just dont do it for me…..I go brain dead knitting em
February 28, 2007 at 10:21 pm
If you like mohair and it keeps you warm, go with it. If simple minded people have another opinon, let them just not buy the product.

Fuzzy hugs from Sweden! I’m placing an order from Isobel soon. Some people gets it on with candlelight, some with leather. And some of us just gets it on with mohair. That doesn’t make the world a worse place, I promise you.
April 16, 2007 at 12:39 pm
We gather that all you dissenters only looked at the opening page of the Mohairknitter’s webpage before hitting the home button in disgust, surely you would not have voyeuristically trolled through the entire website in suppressed inquisivity and then penned a page of holier than thou indignation.
Don’t you wish that you had the courage to wear one of these outfits and maybe surprisingly find your partner was receptive, or is the natural form of intimacy not discussed in your lifestyle?
Then again haven’t you ever secretly desired to maybe enclose your partner in one of these outfits? ‘Shock/Horror a fetish’ What does your day encompass – Drudgery; cleaning, cooking, shopping? Where’s your partner? Down the hotel, at the footy, off on a boy’s night out? You’ve really got it made, what a life.
Think about a submiisive male wrapped up in one of Isobel’s terribly itchy catsuits who will agree to any request for relief? The housework gets done, the washing, ironing magically disappears, and shopping, cooking, who needs restaurants. Life is as it should and the money your partner would spend at the hotel, gambling etc is all there for your benefit.
So before you condemn this lady’s handiwork (all done by hand not machine), ask yourself what is she doing? A little escapism, pleasure, luxuriant clothing, when was the last time you tried something a little DIFFERENT and maybe decadent?
Isobel we love you, and for the expert who knew you had only made token sales, we have spent ~US$700 on an outfit for our “man” who will give us much pleasure and return to us much more than monetary reward for our investment.
Keep on knitting
Paulette and Michelle
April 16, 2007 at 2:32 pm
I so love it when commenters like the above get on here and preach about their fetish like it’s the only thing on earth that will ever satisfy or bring pleasure to anyone’s life. Life is full of pleasureable things – you only need to open your eyes to figure that one out.
April 23, 2007 at 3:24 am
I’d much rather make a man wear a frilly lace teddy around the house than a mohair catsuit (I like men nice and smooth–not furry). Fuzzy mohair does not equate to sex for me.
I don’t really have anything against mohair–I’ve knitted a plain scarf out of the laceweight stuff, and the Martin Storey-designed sweater from VK a few years back with the crazy i-cords sticking out from the bottom of the body and sleeves (it was a nightmare knitting almost 200 little i-cords and tucking in the ends on all of them). I even harbor a secret desire to knit “The Bubble” even though people would probably look at me walking around in it and think a sweater was walking around on it’s own (not to mention it doesn’t get cold enough down for something knit out of multiple strands of La Gran). The key difference is that these were all well-designed mohair pieces.
However, Isobel’s stuff looks like the ill-conceived crap a particularly bad beginner would design (I emphasize “particularly bad” because I’d be insulting most beginners if I didn’t qualify that statement). The worst part is that she certainly has some experience and yet she still makes designs that’d insult most beginners.

The point isn’t whether or not she sells anything. It’s the journey. If she is enjoying her work, then more power to her. Creative people are the best people there are no matter how silly the creation.
May 8, 2007 at 10:00 am
You talk crap….I would like to see you design a catsuit..or maybe you are a teacosy knitter
I have been knitting since a small child…..even designing for Princess Diana in 1989..and others..
as CafeenMan pointed out….Yes I do sell….otherwise why would I knit catsuits….Yes knitting is a journey…For me the pleasure is in creating…having a bll of yarn and watching each row grow into something…It doesnt matter that its a catsuit or even a teacosy….The pleasure is knowing someone is wearing something I have knitted….The pleasure is knowing they are happy…
and hey I enjoy it
May 8, 2007 at 10:05 am
I would like to ask as well…who decides what is a
as you put it “well design mohair piece”….In your eyes…maybe…
a VK sweater is!!!!!
In my eyes a catsuit is beautiful!!!!
May 8, 2007 at 12:25 pm
LOL @ Mohairknitter. A tad touchy about tea cozies? Talk crap? Ya, okay…good comeback. And who’s to say that others can’t design as well? Good for you for figuring out the mathematics of a cat suit knit.
May 18, 2007 at 5:09 am
Wow, it’s just a sweater with pants attached–no biggie figuring out the mathematics of that. And it doesn’t even look like there’s much shaping. Not to mention that there clearly isn’t enough material in the crotch area, which is causing some atrocious camel toe!
I have more respect for the lady who knits the turkey and Christmas tree hats–at least she showcases some more advanced knitting skills than basic stockinette!
May 19, 2007 at 2:25 pm
LOl spirit I think we had better agree to disagree….
A catsuit has to be designed to a customers individual needs….It could be shaped….it could be crotchless….it could have several zippers…drawstrings….with mittens…socks….several balaclavas…TRUST ME HUN I CAN DESIGN!!!!!!!!! as long as its not a tea cosy!!!!!!

spiritinaphoto – I would be interested in buying a ‘pants only’ pattern if it is a case of “no biggie figuring out the mathematics of that”. Would you be interested in designing one please? If so, I can provide you with the measurements.

June 29, 2007 at 5:36 pm
Maybe this costume is for furries? You know, the yiffing kind…
June 29, 2007 at 11:26 pm
I am on Isobel’s side on this. She is the head of her own very successful company in the UK and helps support her own family. She is a tireless worker, designer, knitter and administrator. She has designed and crafted a coat mohair coat for Princess Diana. Top that. To you fetish-phobes mind your own business and we will mind ours. Live and let live.
August 7, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Well, interesting reading for sure. Until the advent of internet I too thought of myself of a pervert in this world, but then seeing that there are tens of thousands of peoples across the world with the same fetish as mine (wool/MOHAIR/Angora)I became quite bold and so to speak “out of the closet as well.
August 21, 2007 at 11:26 pm
I would just like those who are criticizing Isobel, (and her work), to know that they aren’t showing their best side by being so negative. Mostly, in giving her some rude comments about her looks. Sure, the knitting is different. Most knitting is. How about high fashion in Vogue? I don’t see those garments in the grocery store aisles. You are missing the point that this is a fetish oriented clothing type. Those who have this particular fetish have developed it in puberty most likely by chance. It is a fetish like leather, lingerie, long hair, shoes, blondes, brunettes, etc., etc. I will admit that some of the items aren’t what I would ever wear but who am I that I should write hurtful things about another’s work to strangers. I think those who laugh about this are shallow, and just ignorant of the many unique oddities people share. Instead of criticizing her…How about sharing what was the oddest thing you ever had to knit for someone? Or maybe a discussion about what the strangest thing you wanted to knit? Get creative yourself. How would you improve this catsuit style yourself? (seriously) Share your fetishes. We know her buyers fetishes already. Can’t we all just get along? Thanks for listening to my comments.
August 22, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Why is it that people come in here and preach about how “shallow” the comments are? I mean seriously, did you miss the title of this blog??? For those that forgot to read what this blog is about here’s the title again – WHAT NOT TO KNIT – and in cased you missed that, it’s WHAT NOT TO KNIT. That title does not include discussions on pros and cons of the knitted pieces or how fabulous fetishes are or how freakin’ great people are or how creative we should be. Turn the channel please and preach elsewhere. Ugh, comments like this are more annoying than the cat suit.
August 28, 2007 at 5:26 am
So we revert to name calling and criticism, not constructive in nature, which exudes an enormous lack of understanding. Due to close-mindedness? Possibly, but I don’t personally know any of you so I won’t come to any conclusions. I would like to think that everyone could extend the same courtesy.
We are born with a natural desire to be creative, all of us in some form. Then we are taught to “color in the lines”. Thank goodness for Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Ernest Hemmingway. Free thinkers who chose their path in spite of critics. It’s a shame that there is a long list of greats that were never appreciated alive as they have been after they are pushing up daisies.
Clothing is a personal thing. But if Ralph Lauren or Gucci began creating mohair catsuits, I would imagine a large number of you would jump on that bandwagon singing a different tune. I am one of those individuals that find pleasure in not only seeing the many creative garments by MohairKnitter but also in wearing them. I am not asking you to understand that because I don’t understand it myself. It’s part of who I am and denying that about myself would be the same as denying that I like classical music just because everyone I spend time with everyday prefers country. There are many styles of music that I don’t appreciate, but the reason for so many types and styles of music is so that we can all be different and find enjoyment in what pleases us.
I detest rap music, NASCAR racing, horror movies, and asparagus, but apparently some people like them because you can find them everywhere. I find no pleasure in bashing people for liking things that I don’t. “To each his own.” No one is asking you to like MohairKnitter’s creations, but with the overly critical view you have taken towards a person you know nothing about, I think you need to find yourself a hammock, pop the top on a Corona and listen to a little Jimmy Buffett. It’s time to relax a little. Learn to find a little something in everything that you can appreciate.
MohairKnitter, knit on and please continue coloring outside of the lines.

Well, after finding this site and reading the comments above, I’m struck by what a bunch of prudes most of you are. And, WhatNotToKnit, your opinion is just that…and you know what they say about opinions. But please, don’t let me stop all of you hens from criticizing Mohairknitter’s looks, color choice, style choice, knitwear selection, price, etc, etc.
I mean really…are you all that perfect?
Maybe you should all grow up, shut up, and get a life.
And now, after one (and there will only be one) experience on this site…..see ya.
October 9, 2007 at 9:13 am
I am thinking like this.
How many of you that really know how to knit, and design your own knittings…would NOT knit a mohair catsuit, if you were paid $500?
November 11, 2007 at 5:16 am
Isobel is a wonderful knitter and I would love to have either of these catsuits…
Just because you are too closed minded to see/feel the beauty in her work, doesn’t mean nobody does. There may be more of you that don’t like these then there are those of us that do, but there are more of us then you think. Angora and Mohair are a way of life…and adiction more powerful then any drug!
November 28, 2007 at 9:51 am
I’m allergic to both mohair and angora. I can imagine being forced to wear this catsuit would indeed excite someone. It’s amazing how people can find sexual stimulation in the most mundane things. Like vanilla pudding.

I am the buyer, who ordered this “Monstrositie” on ebay. Just to advice you witty hecklers that I do infact wear this often. It is especially comforting on cool early morning jogs. Good day.

My only opinion . . . first I would not knit this for $500. Too much time and I can’t imagine the wrist cramps. Second, I also do not jump on the designers’ bandwagon with current fashion. I wear what looks good on my body type and what is comfortable. I own 1 pair of heels for crying out loud. But in regards to this, if its a fetish, go get em. Just realize that others do not find it appealing or exciting. Like me. I prefer my man naked. Since that makes it much easier to preform the acts which most fetishes lead to. Generally, I believe most on here, from reading them all, simply want to point out the tightness in the crotch area, which leads to what is called camel toe, which if you are wanting to S&M your mate, a perpetual crotch wedgy would be the trick. I do knit tea cosies, but I do drink tea, and like it staying warm for longer. And we are looking at a slight culture difference across the pond. There. . . my opinion.

Hi Everyone,
I have knitted from the age of 5 years old, knitting has always been a very much loved hobby. I love to knit using mohair, and designing one off garments, quite often ” fetish” designs, if it makes someone happy to wear it, touch it !!! What is the problem !!
Good job for E-Bay.

That’s just horrible!! It reminds me of this, which I ran across on digg.com (I hope it shows up)
if not it’s in this article called The 25 Most Disturbing Sex Toys, which can be found here: http://www.cracked.com/article_16032_25-most-disturbing-sex-toys.html
This is officially the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen knitted in my life! I will have nightmares.

I love sweaters, big and chunky wool. She knits awesome sweaters. Knitting is her thing and she knits everything. Why is there a problem?
She is well versed in what she does and obviously covers the entire spectrum of knitting. GREAT FOR MOHAIR KNITTER!!!! Be a little more open minded of others and their abilities. If your not satisfied, move on. If you like her work, view her website, purchase, enjooooy!!!!! To each their own. You only live once, live for your own values, not for others values!!!

I can’t believe all the comments posted on here. Just let it be, no harm done right? Everyone has his or her likes/dislikes, but aren’t there bigger problems in the world than “getting along over clothing tastes”?
No one has to convince the other what’s wrong or right, it’s mostly not even possible if there’s no open mind at both ends.
Well, just my 2 cents.

Hi, let me explain please……
…..a fetish is often developed in very early childhood, when a child, most often boys are left alone a bit too long by mommy, the child will look around and project its need for mom’s love onto an object/smell/sound/anything…..if this happens to be a wool blanket….the child may develop a fetish during puberty for this specific material…..it gives comfort, a substitute for mom’s love……
So for all people who criticised this ebay knitter: Don’t leave your baby alone too long or your child at a later date may have a sort like fetish and start to buy suits like this….ha ha…
Me?…..I have a strong angora fetish…..I don’t like mohair at all…..
C’mon …whatnottoknit…….ye old knit-nazi……be positive!!!
Love to all!!! Marty
