    Damn! Real funky.

    • I’m all for making your own clothing… But there has to be a limit.

      • AllGreatAllTheTime says:

        Random Danni’s greatness has NO limit!

        • Obvious Troll says:

          this is what stallone would be wearing if they made demolition man 2

          • smilisav says:

            This guy has my full respect. He knows we all are free to do whatever doesn’t hurt other living creatures.
            And his choice is to do something creative / productive.
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            This can be very serious thing sometimes.
            Gandhi freed India from Britain by encouraging Indian people to make their own clothes, instead of buying English fabric and aid British economy.
            (Not only by that, but it was one of measures. Before British invasion India was one of the richest countries in the world. And you can not be rich without production. I think they are taking same road again.)
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            Besides, few decades ago my father was often making needlepoint in park. Some of them very big. They are still hanging on our walls.
            (I never asked him was it attractive to young mothers in that park. LOL)

          • AllGreatAllTheTime says:

            LOL! Yeah – that would be a great sequel!!!

          • pam says:

            HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
            I LOVE THIS COMMENT!

    • Dame Marie - Secretary of teh Internetz says:

      That’s kinda awesome.

  2. Pemis d'rednose raindeer says:

    i think thats a yarnbomber

  3. Imgran says:

    Oh come on guys, he’s doing something useful during a forced downtime — that’s more than most can say. Personally i have a little respect for a guy who can break the cultural trends that way and be seen in public doing it.

        • neoritter says:

          ***Compile error. Cannot find variable ’1′.***

          • Just says:

            That’s constant, you, moron!

            • neoritter says:

              I’m sorry you’re a moron. In most programming languages a number is not allowed to be a variable. Ignoring that the variable was never declared, a ’1′ can never be declared as a variable as such you can not increment 1 by 1 since it’s value is constant and always equals 1. I’ll admit my error message was probably incorrect in fact Java compilers throw a “Unresolved compilation problem: Invalid argument to operation ++ –” as an error.

        • softy8088 says:

          I haven’t done c++ in a long time, but isn’t that actually a literal?

          You have variables, constants, keywords, and literals, no?

  4. Shar says:

    Knitta please

  5. Egg Biscuit says:

    THIS….is AWESOME

  6. Actually I think that fit is nice. I would ROCK THE HECK OUT OF IT!

  7. I would ROCK THE HECK OUT OF IT!

  8. John says:

    Kinda bad ass if you ask me.

  9. Zip Zop Zoobity Bop says:

    I want to knit with this man.

  10. A+ says:

    As far as I’m concerned this is a win tbh

  11. Eoz says:

    Guys who knit/crochet are totally sexy.

    • Dame Marie - Secretary of teh Internetz says:

      That’s an odd fetish. It’s cool, yeah, but I’m not really turned on by yarn…

      • jayo says:

        I knew a surgeon who did needlepoint.

        • Dame Marie - Secretary of teh Internetz says:

          That makes a lot of sense, since they’re supposed to have good hands. But I don’t know how that could possibly turn somebody on…

          • chiowa says:

            i actually don’t know if it does make a lot of sense. i knit and my fingers get really stiff if i don’t take a break after a while. i feel like that could be the same problem for surgeons, only the results would be more serious

  12. jae says:

    I’ve seen that guy. He’s epic funky. He makes some pretty cool stuff, though!

  13. caitryn says:

    WHAT’S COOLER THAN BEING COOL???
    ICE COLD!!!!

  14. csoul says:

    I admire his skill as a crocheter! I think he looks wonderful!

  15. dr evil says:

    he is obviously manic

  16. Boyd says:

    Poorly Dressed: Crocheting Just Got phaggoty

  17. Jess says:

    Failblog fail, this is a win.

  18. John Mortensen says:

    Rosie Grier’s taking the bus now. . . .

  19. Gert the Great says:

    This might be taking your hobby a BIT far but it’s still cool. He should probably stick to sweaters though. The pants are a tad over the top.

  20. Aims says:

    I saw this guy’s twin sister in a craft store the other day…she was wearing exactly the same outfit but in camouflage yarn instead of yellow.

  21. Private Joker says:

    I miss NYC.

  22. juharr says:

    Looking at this picture makes me pronounce it crotch-et-ing

  23. ClariPossum says:

    1) Just FYI for people: Kitting ≠ Crocheting.

    2) I think he might actually be knitting, but I can’t tell 100%. It doesn’t look like crochet, though his hat does.

  24. TheCaoth says:

    I love him already.

  25. Aayin says:

    This is a win, not a fail. Bless this man.

  26. The Don says:

    I appreciate this man’s dedication to his craft. The man is like a great mathematician, he shows his work!

  27. QuimB says:

    wait, isn’t that Professor Badass?

  28. This belongs in Picture is Unrelated!

  29. KRoberts says:

    This man is an urban folk hero.

  30. Paula says:

    This guy is totally cool. I would love to be his friend.

  31. tegaroo says:

    Andre 3000?

  32. tegaroo says:

    Andre 3000 is Ms. Jackson.

  33. AnotherSchmoe says:

    This guy has my full respect, more power to him. He’s doing something productive and is not obsessed with what people think or giving in to brand and advertising. More than most of us can say. If I saw him I’d have to compliment him.

  34. Stup1dAm3r1kan says:

    If a zoo staff see him, he would get caught with a net as soon as possible.

  35. DarJoLe says:

    of course he’s black… no offense :)

  36. doug says:

    Now,in your minds eye,switch crotchet man and newspaper guys clothes around. Not so cool now is it? Be aware of the stereo-types you hold.

    • deeble says:

      I’m not sure what your point is. Yes, this would be less interesting the guy was knitting while wearing normal clothing instead of matching crocheted pants, vest, and hat. It’s a picture of a guy who is dressed very oddly and doing something that is slightly unusual. The clothing is the noteworthy thing here- saying ‘But it wouldn’t be funny if he wasn’t dressed funny” is missing the point.

  37. No New Yorker would look twice at that guy. What is the big deal.

  38. Imgran says:

    He must save a mint on clothing, too.

    Heck, I think the only reason anyone would look twice at him is color scheme. If his color choice wasn’t so loud you’d have to look twice to notice.

    • sadie says:

      Save money on knitting? Naw, I’d say that ensemble… if you are using the cheap stuff, would be 40-60$ possibly more, I have never knit a pair of pants. I’d round it up too since he is a man and those sizes are larger. 60-80$. Final answer!

      And at first I was all, that is TOTES crochet! Then I realized he was knittin’ in the ROUND! and I was all, HOLLA at cho home boi!

      I have total respect. You would be surprised at how many people just come up and talk to you because you are holding needles. Like deadly spears usually made of metal are some how NOT intimidating. I think it is because knitters don’t want blood on their work. All I can say is I’m ready for the vampire apocalypse, and all my friends are invited.

      • chiowa says:

        if he bought his yarn at walmart it would be way cheaper than $60. i made 3-4 baby blankets out of one skein from walmart and it only cost like $6. i bet the amount of yarn i used was pretty close to what he did. and the yarn is super soft and machine washable too

      • Lynn says:

        He’s crocheting in the round.

  39. db says:

    Now that is a blanket with sleeves! take that snuggie!

    I’d say its a win, hes got more perserverance and self confidence than most.

  40. WHAT? Crochet’s always been funky!

  41. Lashology says:

    He’s knitting a wedding dress too

  42. Julie says:

    That’s normal for the NYC subway :-)

  43. bipolarbear says:

    this guy probably has a wallet that says “bada$$ motherf—er”.

    “i’m superfly tnt. i’m a mushroom cloud layin motherf—er”

  44. cecil says:

    Sorry miss Jackson
    oooo
    I am fo reeaaalll
    never.meant.to.make.yo.daughter.cry

  45. stason says:

    that is one dedicated gangster. not only does he rep the colors, he involves them in his knitting projects

  46. AI says:

    I seen this guy before! He is very cool down to earth and spiritual and everyone else around seems like robots compared to him

  47. That man is the best-dressed person there. He’s rocking that yellow crochet ensemble like a boss.
