If anyone could make the case that knitting is actually cool, it would be Ansley from the Blue Arts crafting blog.

Ansley makes and sells a lot of stuff, from jewelry to paper crafts. But where she really rocks is her off-the-wall knitting projects.

You might think of knitting in terms of that butt-ugly sweater your granny knit for you way back when — the one your mom always made you wear whenever you went for a visit. But check the Princess Leia bun cap at the top of this article. It’s enough to make you wanna illegally download the first three Star Wars movies.*

What woman wouldn’t want to slip into the feminine power of Batgirl with these stylish fingerless gloves?

There’s also a little something for guys. A whole lot of something, actually:

Yup: a jumbo size breast pillow. It’s big enough to give Dolly Parton an inferiority complex, and is crafted from soft, hand-dyed wool colored to match Playboy’s classic Eldon Dedini cartoons (link is probably NSFW).

You can’t buy these knitted creations, but you can grab Ansley’s patterns and instructions in PDF form from her Etsy store for less than 8 bucks. Then go scandalize your granny.
