Naughty Needles Knitting. Knit yourself a Pony Hood or become a Furmaid. If you're in Kansas City, you can stop by for the all-knitted burlesque show. [Some images on the site NSFW]
A lot of yarn comes pre-packaged in a convenient ball-gag shape.

Hmm, what if we all walked around in crocheted suits that would represent what is normally hidden under the clothes? That would be bizarre. Dali would be proud. Or maybe Claes Oldenburg.

Knitting is weird. At least on Metafilter.

KONIAKOW, Poland - For two centuries, the women of this small Silesian highlands town have hooked thread in intricate crochet patterns to create lace tablecloths and altar ornaments coveted by royalty across Europe.Stringi Koniakowskie
It was an art taught by mothers to daughters, done at home after the daily farming chores were finished, bringing honor and income to the 500-year-old village in southwest Poland still traversed by horse-drawn carts.
Then came G-strings. Last fall, some lace makers trying to earn money spun a racy twist to the art, deciding that underwear would sell better than doilies. Since, the town of 3,000 has been in an uproar, neighbor pitted against neighbor, over the "stringi," Polish for string.
