Phat Knits

by Brenda Dayne on January 7, 2009

Much as I love pushing the boundaries of knitting, I had never considered knitting a sofa, until I saw Phat Knits – a series of giant threads used to create interior products. Designed by Bauke Knottnerus. Too cool. I wonder where I can buy the yarn?

Thanks, Karen!
