I think. Not that it really matters. Oh, eBay. You’ve been an endless bearer of fug lately.
So far no bids (?!) on this gem. I’ll update as to the outcome.
UPDATE: The fun doesn’t end here. Read the rest of this entry »

AHHHHHH! It’s not even knit!
Granted it does state on the Berro-crap website:
Our octopus with braided legs in Ultra Alpaca is a non-knit craft.
But, STILL! It infuriates me how many ways these companies try to shill their crappy, cheap fugly yarn by creating all these god-awful “patterns” that require the “knitter” to purchase copious amounts of expensive yarn. The Ultra Alpaca that this atrocity (ok, I’ll admit it would make a rather nice dog chew-toy) is made with goes for around $8.50 per 3.5 oz. hank! AND the “pattern” calls for two hanks. That’s at least $17 (before taxes and the decorative bits) for a fucking toy.
This yarn is a 50/50 alpaca/wool blend. It would make a handsome and super warm pair of gloves or mittens for your beloved. But, no! Berro-crap wants us to waste perfectly good yarn on a damn chew-toy.






Enough with the fun fur, people! JUST SAY NO. When you find that eyelash shit at Big Lots do not let the urge to pick up some size 10 1/2 needles and and whip up “something unique!” overcome you.
Please, I beg of you.

Normally I don’t post photos of themed, oversized sweaters because, well, they’re all ugly. And pretty much all the same. And there are tons of them. But this one, found on eBay, actually said:
UGLY Hand Knit Christmas Sweater L Casual Corner Lmtd
but then in the description said:
A really well made and beatiful sweater!!!
and had 9 different detail closeups. What the fug?

Another eBay find. A crucified denim worm?

I definitely have to agree when the girls at gofugyourself call this:
a thickly knit ode to Twister
I swear that thing was intended to be a table runner. Oh, and check out that awesome lady in the background with the pink bag on her head.

Just get a fannypack. They’re way cooler and have zippers.
Oh HELL NO. I can’t believe someone actually made this.

That is some racist shit! I don’t even want this picture on here.
This was on eBay and luckily there are no bids on it yet. I’ll keep an eye on it. The person who made it didn’t even get it right:
Golliwogs were made popular by Robinson’s Jam in England in the 1960’s.
NO. There is a whole fucked up racist history behind the Golliwog caricature that begins well before the 60s. Ugh, I’m just hoping the knitter is ignorant of the fact that what s/he made is not a “handsome devil!” but a disgusting symbol of oppression.
