Another Place To Draw The Line.

We’ve raised the issue of crocheting for your pets before.
Its pretty simple, if you get bitten because you made them things like this:
 
or this
   (Nice stitching BTW, but its still cringeworthy)
you probably deserved it.
If, however you go a step further and crochet…
The Dog..
 
or even…
 Just their heads:

You need to find a mirror and have a VERY, [...]

For people who considered making the Crochet Thong

There are so many things I want to say….
But I will stick with : This person who should be ARRESTED, and sent to a HELL for an Eternity where all their crochet hooks hide, so they can only find some weird size they’d NEVER use and they are left to drown in a vat of fun fur and [...]

Squid Scarf

For when you’re in the mood to be strangled by a squid!
This one gives me the heebie jeebies.

Thanks to one of our readers for sending this in!

Save a Muppet!!! Say No to Fun Fur!

Its time for a confession: (apart from the one I made yesterday - that I like um.. a certain Fast Food substance from a large American Chain….) 
I love the Muppets.
I love Fraggle Rock.
 I cried when Jim Henson died.
So I would like to THANK  Isis for her Crusade to try and save those Muppets; who have so far escaped [...]

And it’s all made of alpaca!  what a waste (in my opinion) of wonderful fiber.  Is it supposed to keep the china warm?
If you dig it, click HERE for the free Berroco pattern.  (damn you berroco!)

What is it about Clowns???

Ok - picture this:
I made it home this morning (you’ll have to check out my own blog: safetybootsandcrochet to see why thats so remarkable) and I was innocently surfing through eBay to find more Irish crochet patterns. More patterns generally.
To my shock and horror I was overwhelmed by the number of .pdf files, which are [...]

Some people just never learn

Everyone remembers Bjork as the crazy lady that went to the Oscars wearing a dress that looked like a swan draped on her body. She should have been shot for that.
Does this crazy lady actually have fans? Fans that appreciate THIS?

Bjork must stand there in all this hideous crochet glory.

Is Bjork [...]

Every once in awhile it can’t be helped - we’ll be popping
by when we have a moment - see below for
another “what were they thinking?”:

Thanks to the new blog contributors too - more
authors should keep the blog “fresh” and the fug flowing.

A Letter to Lionbrand

Dear Lionbrand,
As my mother brought me up right, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for so much on your site.
You have a wide range of yarns, so many that sometimes I just sit here drooling and wishing that I could just dive into a sea of your yarn, and backstroke for [...]
