The Knitting Fiend

 
My dear old granny
crochets beautiful blankets.
I wear them as capes.

Everything old is new again! I’m not sure this will keep your shoulders warm. It certainly won’t block the wind. Maybe it’s just a fashion statement?

Once again, this is from Adriafil

This item from Adriafil caught my eye. Maybe it looks more atttractive in real life, but somehow, that lace fringe looks awfully floppy there. And couldn’t the photographer have posed the model to look a big more dynamic?

Oh well… It’s not as though hand knitters might hope to look elegant when stepping out to buy groceries.

This specimen of handknit fuglyness appeared in a 2004 Lion Brand catalog and saved for posterity by Siege who said:

That sweater on the left is about the fugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Is it art? Is it a sweater? WTF is it exactly?

Evidently, these appeared at a student knitting exhibit. Yes. Too much studying can do strange things to young people’s minds.
