Fiesta Misty Boa & Hat Set
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 28, 2006
What’s with scarves errrr, I mean “boas” these days? This is yet another rendition of the one previously posted although I’ll give it a little bit of credit for being a “pattern” at least… it’s not just a bunch of loops. I don’t get the idea behind scarves that look like they’re engulfing [...]
Loopy Bolero “Scarf”
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 26, 2006
Lionbrand really makes me scratch my head over and over…check out this latest “crochet” pattern. I don’t know how many times I have to say it but just using a crochet hook to slip stitch loops of yarn around itself is NOT a pattern!! It’s totally insulting to anyone who crochets and obviously [...]
Couch Dresses

Seriously, what the h*ll? I’ve had a few people email this one to WNTC…is this for real? Can’t be!! If it is, well, it belongs in the WTF file…and believe me, anything that belongs in the WTF file is seriously bad…beyond hideous…in fact, just downright NOT RIGHT. It can be customized to [...]
Ole Burgundy “Beastly” Purses
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 18, 2006
This was actually named “Ole Burgundy Beauty Purse” but I felt the need to omit the word “beauty” and replace it with “beastly”…I’m sure you can see why! But what a great idea of a handbag — hey, if you throw up on it, nobody will notice!! So what the heck? Just [...]
No Purpose “Rippled Macaroon” Poncho
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 11, 2006
Can you see it on her face? She’s pursing her a lips a tad…probably trying not say “dear God, get this thing off me!!”. Selling a pattern on the statement “fits any body shape” is NOT a good sign. Really…if that’s your only marketing “tool”, you’re in trouble!! I call this [...]

“Show Your Nipples” Tube Tops
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 5, 2006
This “free” pattern is insulting…not only because anyone who has crocheted for even the slightest bit of time can figure out the “pattern” without looking at it…duh, single crochets over and over and over from a chain…how hard is that…but for the very fact that you are crocheting a top that shows your nipples! [...]
Pointy Boob Bathing Suits

Do you remember those pointed bras from Madonna? Well, this designer has certainly been successful in achieving that look with crocheting. I feel a bit bad for this model…I’m mean it’s obvious she’s an amateur and probably getting paid next to nothing to model this for the designer but oh dear, oh my, [...]
Pukey Purple Passion Poncho
Posted by: whatnottocrochet on: February 3, 2006
Described as “flirty” and for beginner/intermediate crocheters and you can make it in a weekend!! And my oh my, what a fun-filled fabulous weekend it’d be! You can get this pattern for a mere $5.00 and who knows how much for the yarn? I see you will have to track yourself down [...]
