Show Pony?? NOT
Posted by: SB&C on: October 26, 2007
I saw this pattern for sale yesterday and nearly died from dehydration caused by laughing and crying.
Then, one of the regular commenters on my own blog had found it amongst her own patterns and went to the trouble of sending it to me, recognising the FUG value.
This pattern for…
THE BOOTS
if thats not a waste of yarn….
It’s for those days you’re feeling bloated and want to look like a Clydesdale?
I know muklucks and the fantastic Australian Uggies (which I have – the Real-Genuine-Australian-made-by-a-hearing-impaired-guy-from-local-sheepskins-not-far-from-mother_figure’s -house-ones not the Jessica Simpson copies!) and shaggy boots were in..
but…
this is Wrong.

Slaughtering innocent English sheep dogs to make leg warmers? Where will we draw the line with the fur trade?

I looked at the picture and wondered what was wrong with this one? That poncho looks okay (continues scrolling down) and the color—OMG! OMG! THOSE BOOTS! OMG!

AHAHAHAHA! Well on the plus side they do look warm, but with the amount of snow you would sweep in you would be in danger of drowning!

It’s a little bit said, but the model actually designed the patter for these. She does look very proud of herself doesn’t she?

It’s a little bit sad, but the model actually designed the patter for these. She does look very proud of herself doesn’t she?
