Companionship Only a Few Knitting Sessions Away

Dutch designer and illustrator Noortje de Keijzer has designed a life-sized knitted body pillow in the shape of a man.

Keijzer's "My Knitted Boyfriend" project consists of two different oversized cushions, "Artur" and "Steve." And to help you "personalize your man," the pillows come with a number of accessories, including knitted moustaches, glasses, watches, bow-ties, and even tattoos. Keijzer had her mother and grandmother hand-knit the body pillow. The time had come, she says, for a man in her life.
