Sweater failure

With everything I consider for holding up to ask the world, “WHY?”;  I try to put myself in the shoes of the designer. Try to understand what they were trying to acheive. What their inner vision was. To give them the benefit of the doubt and understand they possibly just need a hug and whole lot of chocolate.

I know a lot of what we’ve posted is designed to make people laugh - and thats cool. Some of it is vintage stuff that really has not withstood the test of time. And some, well……

If you just saw the back of this sweater, you’d think I’m  the one who needs drugs - there’s nothing wrong with it!  

Its quite inoffensive

 REally horrible back Lousy picture perhaps but its quite a sweet pattern, woodsy colours, good sort of length and fit.

But then……

Look at the FRONT ….

really horrible sweater

I think this is what happens when crochet patterns are designed by committees.

  1. Oh dear…

  2. I only recently found this blog…….I have laughed so hard…thank you for this…I thought I was the only one looking at patterns saying what in the world were they thinking!!! hahahaha
    thanks again for the daily laughs

  3. Love the back, but the front???? Oh Gawd, that’s just too awful for words.

  4. Designed by committees…

    …or with the help of the grandkids…

  5. Is that a dachshund on the bottom row? I’m not seeing a cat. Why is the S so big? And what do mittens have to do with anything?

    More questions come to mind. This is making my brain hurt!

  6. EWWWWWWW!

  7. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!! *weeps*

    I WANT ONE JUST LIKE IT!!! XD

    Now that, THAT my friends, is the perfect fug. It looks decent, good even… until you look at the front. And then the front proves both that you have no taste AND that you’re a crazy cat lady!!

  8. yeah… wow.

  9. well the person that wears that would qualify as “crazy cat lady” in my humble opinion. I love cats but not _that_ much

  10. *Millie really, REALLY liked cats.*

  11. What are those designs supposed to be? It looks like it says Cats on top (with an oversized S) but then it looks like slippers in the middle and a first graders drawing of a cat on the bottom. That took a lot of work to look so bad.

  12. whats that say on the front? looks like cats crap! yikes! or cat5crt ? anyone know? I agree, it looks quite normal if abit old fash from the back but the front is really weird! I can imagine it being worn by ladies of a certain age at cat shows brushing long haired puddy tats and waiting for the judges to come by!

  13. wow.. maybe its a wearable cat’s toy.. lol.. all that work for that.. waste of time..

  14. how NOT to succeed in dating!

  15. Even the letters in the word “CATS” are uneven…..

    and the mittens… oh my

  16. I’ve always wondered what goes through the mind of the model who models clothes like this.
    The cat looks like a scorpion to me.

  17. At first i was all like, “why is there a weasel and a decapitated mouse on that thing? And why does it say CRTS?”

    Ohhh, insane-o cat lady fug…. i get it now.

  18. Is it just me or does that look like a covered litter box on the right side in the middle?

  19. Why. Why. Why.

  20. “Now kids… I have to finish dinner. Whatever you come up with for the front will be just fine!”

  21. I love cats, but i would never ever wear this.

  22. I think the back is beautiful, but whatever happened when it came to the front…..that’s totally confusing.

  23. This puts the “cat” in “catastrophe”.

  24. Yanno, nothing screams, “I’m a crazy cat lady!” more than wearing a crazy folksy vest with cats on it.

    Quelle originale!

  25. That back is lovely, I think the front is another vest :)

  26. I figure..if you think it’ll get you beat up in school, chances are..you shouldn’t wear it when you’re an adult. Mainly cause your children could get beat up for you.
