Table Doily Shawls
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 30, 2006
What’s wrong with this picture? It’s called an “Ice Crystal Shawl”, however, when you look at it, isn’t it really a table doily? Don’t get me wrong…it’s a gorgeous stitch and well made, however, it looks like she went to her Grandma’s house, tore the doily off the closest table, put a pin [...]
Conehead Hats
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 28, 2006
Want to morph your head shape into a cone? Here’s a hat to achieve that much sought after look! And to think this pattern comes from a publisher I normally have respect for. For knitting patterns, they are absolutely great! For crocheting, well, just take a look at this hat…LOL [...]
“I’m *Actually* Naked” Lace Tops
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 26, 2006
Another one from “Amazing Crochet” that just makes you scratch your head. Why do they make these revolving graphics anyways? It really does NOTHING for the top at all except give you the 360 degree view of the fug in all its glory… Not to mention make it that much more hilarious [...]
Ponytail Hats
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 25, 2006
Amish chic perhaps? I am not quite sure what the purpose of a “ponytail hat” could be? Oh well, at least it’s cheap to create this fug…only $8.99 US for the kit and plenty of yarn leftover too…according to the pattern ad. Meant to add a “creative touch to your child’s winter [...]
Crappy Celtic Crochet
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 23, 2006
Wow, look at how those colours clash! Is that what defines Celtic? Horrible colour combinations and hideous ensembles that clash enough to burn your retinas?!
I don’t remember Celtic being reminiscent of any of these colours either. How would you feel if you were Irish and saw this pattern book that claims to [...]
Furry Sweaters
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 19, 2006
As said by the person who submitted this to WNTC: “…for every woman who always wanted a furry chest!” And I think that pretty much sums of this monstrosity. The pattern is free and reads “eyelash adorns 4-ply for great flair”….ya, whatever…maybe if you want to look like a gorilla. Geez, [...]
Flowered Poncho/Hat Combos
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 18, 2006
Who wears these combinations? Has anyone ever seen these things out in public?
Not only is the colour just bad…some pukey yellow… but the flowers on the head and on the poncho is just not good… the flowers look like an afterthought — just plopped onto the poncho and hat because, well, the designer [...]
Shoo Fly Covers
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 15, 2006
Yup, you read that right! SHOO FLY covers!! Why I say, whyyyyy? Oh my dear God, we can’t brush bugs away from our glasses so we need to crochet fringe on a piece of fabric and place it over our glasses? Geez, this is just a perfect something you’d find at [...]
Big Ass Scarves
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 13, 2006
From wearing next to nothing to wearing too much… designing bad crochet never ends! Just how heavy is this darn scarf and why is it so HUGE? It looks like it’s engulfing this poor model’s neck and any minute now she’s going to topple forward and fall on her face!
If you’re going to [...]
Trashy Lingerie
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: January 10, 2006
Seriously, is this lingerie? I have no idea how to explain this “peek-a-boo” crochet other than it must be lingerie…and since it comes from a French website, it’s quite possible. But if you are going to do crochet lingerie, yikes, how about some nice yarns to do it with? And check out [...]
