Knitting and/or crochet patterns for Weirdos?

I've googled my little heart out and I'm not getting lucky. I need patterns for anything funky and strange. Stuff that is weird to make for me and my creepy friends.

1. Can you knit socks? You can make weird and wonderful socks. You can make rude and crude socks. If you get bored after just one, you can use to to make sock toys. See the links below for ideas. Sock toys can also be formed with zippered compartments to hold cellphones or whatever. :-)
2. Well, maybe you could start here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34687 Try putting "Halloween crochet" in the search engine and see what you get. A spider-web shawl would be super-cool, especially in a thin, fuzzy black yarn.
3. try listings for free form crochet. its cool , uses up ends of threads, and can always be different, it can grow too, it may start to be a hat or purse and you might make it grow into a poncho or shawl.
4. Go to "www.theanticraft.com" ... it's a bit different!
5. Ditto on the anticraft site! My other favourite is a site called "knitty" it's an online knitting/crochet magazine and it's not your grandma's yarn projects. http://www.theanticraft.com/index.htm http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/index.html
6. I think you might look at diynetwork.com and check out knitty gritty. some of those patterns may suit, especially the illusion knitting. I like knitty.com, they have interesting patterns. Once you find a pattern designer that you like, see if they have a blog with patterns. Also, there are lots of patterns that incorporate skulls,, and you may also look for 'ugly dolls' which are creepy and fun.
7. You could try http://www.stitch-witch.net/knittinghumor.html for the Knitting Goddess #9. She has a list of patterns including - a knitted uterus - a knitted "willie" warmer - knitted pointy nose warmers - a knitted "bad hair day" wig ("hallowig") Knit your face off & have fun! Alex
8. Look for these books on Amazon. I've seen them in my local craft store. Domiknitrix: Whip Your Knitting into Shape Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond (Potter Craft) (Paperback)
9. You might check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kinky_crochet/?yguid=134774121
10. http://www.squidoo.com/gothknit/ This site rocks!
11. try these sites: i got some great stuff from them, and actually bought their books too! www.domiknitrix.com www.naughtyneedlesknitting.com and www.punkknits.com www.knitty.com has some different stuff as well. good luck! i just made a skull and crossbones pillow that ALL of my friends want :)
