OR CROCHET SID & NANCY












Back when I was a lad a piece of graffiti in the gents’ toilet at the Notting Hill Gate underground station read – “MY MOTHER MADE ME A HOMOSEXUAL!” Beneath the Freudian statement someone else had added – “IF I GAVE HER THE WOOL COULD SHE MAKE ME ONE?” Fanciful? Sure, but now a person called Croshame who will crochet Sid and Nancy for you…

“I was inspired to create a crocheted portrait of the events that possibly occurred in the Chelsea Hotel on October 12. 1978, where Sid Vicious was accused of killing then-girlfriend Nancy Spungen. This listing is for a CUSTOM Sid and Nancy set designed and crocheted by myself. The set will include an angry Sid, a dead Nancy, and the weapon -- a knife, wiped clean. Sid and Nancy are crocheted from acrylic, cotton and polyester novelty yarns, adorned with metal chains, faux leather, fishnet fabric and tiny spikes, then stuffed with polyfill; both measure about 11" long. The knife is made from tiny pieces of felt and measures about 2.5" long. Nancy lies in her little pool of blood on her very own, but Sid will stand only as long as he's propped up against something.” (Click here for more)
