Grannies' fetish knitwear is big hit
A German knitting circle made up of grannies has become 2007’s Calendar Girls by turning their attentions to knitted fetish
A German knitting circle made up of grannies has become 2007’s Calendar Girls by turning their attentions to knitted fetish wear.
The knitting circle still makes conventional knitwear, but now provides lingerie, masks and willy warmers.
Manuela Buesch-Dankewitz, 45, who manages the group of lady knitters said: "The women love to knit, and it's great to earn something from it.
"Our oldest team member is 86. She makes willy warmers and other gear just like the rest."
Based on a real story, the 2003 film Calendar Girls followed a Yorkshire branch of the WI who made a nude calendar of themselves to raise money for Leukemia research, although the knitting circle’s rationale is more business-minded than charitable.
Ms Buesch-Dankewitz thought up the plan after a US customer asked for a woollen bondage suit and since then has expanded her team to cater for ever more exotic tastes.
"Since we put the items on-line we have been flooded with requests from all around the world.
"We make our wool products to order and there is a big demand out there."
The firm's products can be seen on their new web site at http://wolltraum.de
