WHEN CROCHET ATTACKS

Posted on January 26, 2008 by SB&C

(With apologies to H. G. Wells)

No one would have believed, in the early years of the 21st century, that our world

was being watched by intelligences greater than our own.poodle blue

That, as men busied themselves

about their various concerns, they observed and studied. poodle toilet

Like the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply

in a drop of water. poodles

With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident

of our empire over this world.

Yet,across the gulf of space, intellects, vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our plant with envious eyes.

And slowly and surely, drew their plans against us.

    Auugh! That is wrong, that is SO wrong. They do have an evil look to them when they are en masse.

    Oh my gosh, that pink one looks like a hotdog on a stick, with little balls stuck to it’s side.

    Dear God! Someone once gave my Mother a pink poodle-head toilet paper roll cover. This reminded me of it. Oh, the horror!

    I have patterns for the poodles in an old book. Very odd!

    evil alien poodles,

    I love the comment that lydee made about the pink one looking like a hotdog with balls stuck to it! I was thinking the same thing!

    another fine example of WNTC!

    The one looking at the toilet is kind of cute.

    The final picture, though, is rather…creepy, as is the poodle head.

    I think the black one with the white eyes wants my soul.

  15. Robin, on January 31st, 2008 at 2:18 pm Said:

    Believe it or not my husband’s mother sent one of these horrible creatures home with him last week. Upon seeing it I experienced the first full body shiver I’ve had in years. “Look honey! My grandma made it! ” That woman is dead. The poodle should have been buried with her. I hid it behind the cereal boxes on top of the fridge.

    Love kelebek’s comment on the black dog with white eyes! It’s so true!

    lol They look soooo creepy when grouped into a poodle toilet roll gang!
    I kinda want to make one now. :-)

  24. Soo, on February 12th, 2008 at 12:00 pm Said:

    I made 2 of those when I was 11!!! Both out of brightly coloured Phentex (ick). I thought they were the height of quality home decor.

    Ok, I admit it, I once made one of those. Not too long ago I found the original pattern. I’ll admit it, I’m thinking of making another one.

    That was the first thing I ever crocheted. It was a blizzard. I was 14. I had nothing else to do.
