Oh yes… Looks like SO much fun!

The thing I should like to know from this pattern (and yes… it’s from Lionbrand!) is not HOW to do it, but at least (AT LEAST!) ONE good reason WHY.
Why on earth would anyone, ANYONE, want to mutilate a pair of jeans, make themselves look like a Sesame Street Monster has them by the neck AND [...]

Shoot this?

For those who liked the Crocheted Stock Cover,
We give you the Crocheted Trophy to display afterwards!

“Oh yes, Honey I brought down the big one! 400gms of Red Heart Beige!”

Hello Kitty

And if this isn’t the most bastardised use of a logo and crochet…….. …..
I am pretty sure I don’t know what is.

WHEN CROCHET ATTACKS

(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.
That, as men busied themselves
about their various concerns, they observed and studied.
Like the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and [...]

Go on…..

Laugh or cry. Pick one.
A major part of my job is to ask people why they thought doing something was a Good Idea.
Usually, I ask this as part of filling out forms. And applying bandages. And: Cervical Collars.
The disparity between Good Ideas and Bad Ideas is usually huge.
Today’s Fug is a case in point.

The care, [...]

Tampon Cozies

Meant to “disguise” your most personal feminine hygiene product -
you decide if it works or not.  The pink one is a uterus cozy with ovaries on it!

When Not To Poncho

To get rolling for 2008 (having marvelled over how much some people are asking for a seriously Fugged Hat) I thought we might do some comparative pattern shopping.
And to start with, what better than that Classic piece of crocheting? The Poncho.
We have previously poked fun at the Mancho (not once, but TWICE!) and the really [...]

THAT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!

Ok.. this is a Statement of Personal Affront and not so much “what not to crochet” because… well…  I can’t crochet what I wanted to crochet and what I found held up as a “Pattern” turns out to be…
a HOAX! A Sham!
 A FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO MISUSE YARN!
Or:  a very cunning SB&C TRAP laid by Lionbrand.
 (maybe [...]

Ok.. I dont know what it is but I am FREAKED!

First of all….. One of the struggles that we have in Australia is to understand American terminology.
In all things, not just crochet.
What Aussies call crisps, the US call chips.
Aust : Lemonade; US : 7UP.
Aust: Scones, US : Biscuits.
Aust: Biscuits, US : Cookies.
Then we have different clothing and shoe sizes which makes eBay shopping sometimes far more amusing than it should [...]

Unquestionably, a Waste of Yarn!

Yarn. 
Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.
(hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhh)
We love it because it’s soft. 
We rub it on our wrists.. on our faces.. (if you rub it anywhere else… don’t tell me please… )
In Stores, we stroke the skeins with envious eyes and consider how much you *really* need to spend on food this week. 
We love to hoard it so nobody else can have it [...]
