I found this while poking around at etsy. By the time I got the image posted here at the meatblog I’d forgotten what I was going to say about it (besides, “Awesome!”). Nicodemusgreen has a whole shop of goodies for you to check out at etsy.

No, not hats of meat, it’s the MeatHat - an absolutely adorable quick-knit hat.

Why “meathat?” The designer explains:

The stitches are big and say “basic” all over, but are made with two strands of a slightly shiny yarn that add just a hint of sparkly complexity. The very first set of these hats were made for an art installation and adorned with numbered cattle ear tags. Thus the name, “meatheads.”

Even though the bovine (or ovine) name remains, the choice of embellishment now belongs entirely to you.

There’s a flickr group slideshow of finished hats if you need some additional inspiration.

Monster Crochet presents the bacon wrap. Genius!

Did you wake up this morning and think to yourself, “Self, I think I need some underwear made of beef jerky and festooned with rhinestones!”

Well, have we got a treat for you! The designers at mixedspecies have decided to unleash “meat haute couture” on an unsuspecting world and they’ve started with an item they call brief jerky.

The image posted is from the mixedspecies etsy store - I dropped them a line asking for permission to use it last week and didn’t hear back - I’ll remove it if they object.

Easyjo has created a house of meat. He then went on to create a ship of meat (with pirates). Good job!!!

…pencil toppers!  A ham, a roast, a whole chicken, a rack of ribs, and a t-bone.  Awesome!  All they are missing is a slab of bacon.  I suppose not all meaty goodness can include bacon.  It’s a shame really.  But for under $5, you can have little plastic meats all over your office, your house, even your car.

Do I hear “stocking stuffer”??

“I’ll take that to-go.”
