Posy Toes Slippers

Hey, I found the perfect accessory for the "Gourmet Crochet Audrey" shrug posted below! Don't you think these slippers are divine? And the flowers on them are superb. What a wonderful design this is... and meant to decorate your toes with posies! Wow, I never thought of that before...so glad someone else did.

Made in an array of really tacky colours to suit any other fug piece you may have in your wardrobe too. I think I've found the perfect slipper!

Gourmet Crochet Audrey

Anyone want to look like they had confetti thrown up on their arms? Here's the perfect piece for you!! Meant to take the "chill" off your shoulders and arms. I'm not sure it'd be able to get rid of the chill you'd feel from the ugh of this piece. What a great way to stand out in a crowd that's for sure...if, of course, you want people pointing and laughing at you!

Thanks to Christy for this submission!

Thought for the Day

In case anyone's noticed, WNTC has removed the post about Josi's crochet design as well as all the comments to it because, let's just say, Josi decided she needed to call WNTC an a**hole and when it disintegrates to that level, here's some words of wisdom on what to do: 
Many of the things that get to you are not worth the energy and the trouble that you invest in them. Sometimes, the best response is no response at all.  Seek to rise above the petty dramas that don't do anyone any good. Keep in mind that where you put your awareness and your attention is where your life will go.  A sign of true strength is the willingness to completely let go of the things that don't really matter.

WNTC's future policy is to never include any of Josi's designs on this site nor have them mentioned here - they aren't worth our time.

Squid Hats

Tentacle fringe...oh so lovely! And looking like a squid...the look we're all after I'm sure! The model is desperately trying to hide too...can't blame her! Tentacle fringe over one eye is so appealing too... Can you believe this hat made the cover of a magazine? Yikes! And what's with the strings hanging off the sides? So wrong in so many ways.

Thanks to one of our new readers, Maryann, for the submission!

Fiesta Misty Boa & Hat Set

What's with scarves errrr, I mean "boas" these days? This is yet another rendition of the one previously posted although I'll give it a little bit of credit for being a "pattern" at least... it's not just a bunch of loops. I don't get the idea behind scarves that look like they're engulfing your neck... how easy would these be to wear? Not to mention heavy!

The matching hat doesn't help matters at all either. Who came up with this colour combo? Fiesta? Ya, whatever!

Loopy Bolero "Scarf"

Lionbrand really makes me scratch my head over and over...check out this latest "crochet" pattern. I don't know how many times I have to say it but just using a crochet hook to slip stitch loops of yarn around itself is NOT a pattern!! It's totally insulting to anyone who crochets and obviously is just a way to sell their yarn...just how *stupid* do they think crocheters are? And not to mention you have to spend over $30 US to get the required yarn for this thing. It looks like some weird yarn monster is eating her neck. Why not just unravel the yarn around your neck a few times, forget the "loops" and just say you've made yourself a scarf??!! It'd be simpler than buying a crochet hook to slip stich some loops that's for sure!
Thanks to everyone who emailed this one in...quite a few to mention actually!

Couch Dresses

Seriously, what the h*ll? I've had a few people email this one to WNTC...is this for real? Can't be!! If it is, well, it belongs in the WTF file...and believe me, anything that belongs in the WTF file is seriously bad...beyond hideous...in fact, just downright NOT RIGHT. It can be customized to fit you and any couch or loveseat! Seriously! You don't believe me do you? You even get two flower broaches which will be such a wonderful accessory to this monstrosity that they will definitely distract from the fact that you're in a freakin' COUCH DRESS!! I don't know what else to say...I'm at a loss for words on this one...so I'll just end it with WTF??!!!
This brain aneurism submitted to WNTC by: Karen, Donna, Peach & Ronnie...thanks!
