Get knitted
Nicole Gastonguay makes wonderful things. There's a lot of knitted stuff around at the moment but this stands out as a cut above the rest. I had real trouble picking a favourite - check out her gallery for knitted sardine cans, robots and boom boxes (via Tantramar).
Update: Apologies to all crafters. Han has kindly pointed out that these are crocheted not knitted. Just ignore that headline, then. I can't think of a pun on crochet at this time of the morning.

I agree - these are awesome, especially that sad ol' TV dinner :(

Ah, sorry Han. I'm so handless with all that stuff I can't tell the difference. It explains why they look so good though. Thanks!

I'm afraid they're not even crocheted. It looks like she just got plastic canvas and cut it to make milk cartons.

Love these. Reminds me of the Blur video for Coffee and TV.
