Inspiration: Wood and Wool Crocheted Stool

We've been posting more and more about crochet chic (or knitting chic as the case may be) recently. Match that trend up with modern woodland and you've got yourself a crocheted stool that isn't too much granny or too much lumberjack. In fact it might be just right for trying out at home:

Knitting and crochet are definitely having a comeback, I mean, just look at how many knitting places there are in LA. So put those skills to work and make yourself a little cozy atop a nearby stool or add a little starch and make yourself a Tour Ticket Giveaway!

That's crazy! I just posted these stools on my blog, GirlWhimsy. I found them on Flickr! The cozy tops take these stools to another level! Love 'em!

I've been straying from my granny-chic obsessions, but I kinda love these...

As a Grannie i find these remarks offensive. They are revolting.

Yuck, really ? They remind me of something really ugly and multicolored time-warping from the 60's...

I guess it depends on your generation. I'm older and grew up with afghans/pot holders/pillows like this.... to the point of never wanting to see another one in my whole life.

Took me years to get rid of all the creepy ones I got as wedding/Christmas/baby gifts. I had to keep waiting for family members to die or move away so it wouldn't hurt their feelings that I gave away what they had made for me.

I've had it with knitting chic.

It's a contradiction in terms.
