They fooled me with the plastic mail before...that is pretty good looking from 5-10 feet away, but it makes no noise so you know it isn't steel.  This looks like it'd make a real nice sweater....but you're not fooling anyone.  :)

I think links to how-to pages will be fine here. The goal is to have threads for specific how-to instructional projects.
