buy cool Knitty swag!

You're out and about and you run across a very naughty boy who needs to be punished, and you, without your whip. What's a girl to do?

Never be at a loss again with Flick. It's a belt, it's a whip. Whether you're a dandy or a dominatrix, Flick will do the trick.

Strap on Flick, either straight and woven, or 1980s style low and loose. When you meet that wicked boy, simply slip Flick onto your fingers through the open cables, grip the handle and your'e ready to go.

Crack! Tell mama you're a bad boy!
