Fall time

The days are getting shorter and colder here in Vermont, and I'm starting to pull out sweaters and layers once again. Anything to keep me warm on these chilly mornings. Anything except these. They are called "Clydesdale" which is very fitting, seeing as how they make you look like a show horse.

awwww....no

You know how all booties look adorable on little babies? Someone thought the same principle would apply to adults. Yes, these are written for adult sizes only. Eep.

Halloween present!

I don't know that this is a knittrocity. I suppose it would be if you wore it regularly, and walked around town with a plastic lightsaber casually slung at your hip. And if you paused in front of doors, thinking your Jedi mind could open them. But for Halloween, it's terrific. There's a free pattern at http://bleuarts.blogspot.com

Flashback

I think this is a promo photo from an 80s Tom Cruise movie.

Just wanted to say...

Have a nice day!

Temporary slow down

I'm gearing up for a wedding at the end of the month, so I don't have a lot of time for browsing photos and posting them to expose the knittrocities they are. If in the meantime you come across anything horrendous, please pass on the link, and I'll add the photo here for all to gawk at. After I'm merrily married, I'll be back to daily postings. Sorry for the spottiness until then.

Have I got a deal for you!

Do you fondly remember afternoons spent running home from school to watch Saved by the Bell? Do you remember fawning over Zach or Slater? No one fawned over Screech, the poor thing. Which is just as well because now he's out there trying to sell his image on t-shirts to pay off the mortgage on his house. No one likes a pushy has-been.

But that's beside the point. If you loved the show. If you were entranced by very special episodes, such as Jessie's addiction to speed. If you always wanted to hang out at the burger joint, and loved the decor there so much you wished you could wear it like a billboard of devotion, here's your chance! The sweater on the left was created just for you. The sweater on the right, just a bonus. Free to anyone in the Boston area, via Craigslist.

Stain removal

Here's a handy tip for all you do it yourselfers! Every time you spill some of your double mocha latte on your sweater, just cut out a small square from a clean spot, and sew it over your stain. Voila!

Cow Bear

This is supposed to represent a panda, but I think this is what happens when a bear and a cow meet and fall in love. They have little pandows which are then meticulously rendered in knittwear sold in zoos where these rare animals live.

Breaking News

The votes have been tallied, and the results are in. The blue ribbon winner of the San Diego County Home and Hobby fair is Mary Brown, for her "wearable art." Let's give Ms. Brown a round of applause.

Halloween's coming up.

If I were a size negative 4 like this model is, I could use this outfit to dress up as Harley Quinn, one of Batman's arch nemeses, for Halloween. All she needs is a little angel on one shoulder and a little demon on the other. Anyone want to knit those up and donate them to the cause?

Safari

It's a problem when you have more fringe than scarf. It seems like she was a little too enamored with the lions she saw on safari and is trying to make her own mane.
