I’ve come across a few articles about knitted furniture and items for the home in the last couple of days.
Knitted furniture - Kam Kam
Claire-Anne O'Brien stool
Not sure how mainstream this will become, but it seems that you can get some decent, relatively cheap bits and pieces on the high-street. The big designer-y stuff is obviously a lot more expensive.
Ferm Living pencil pots and vase
Knitted lampshade - Roost Living
Beata Faron cup coat
Not sure how practical they are, but they look cool.
