Feline Monitor Perch

LMAO! First of all, the name?? What is that? Feline Monitor Perch...hmmmm, say it again...Feline Monitor Perch....just how *exactly* do you crochet a "perch"? And why not just say a cat instead of a feline?? Fancy words does not make it better! LOL

Ah well, anything to sell a bit of yarn and to have a "pattern of the day"....LOL  Annie's Attic has outdone themselves once again!
Thanks to Daenna & Tricia for pointing this one out!

Beaded Bag Sets

Especially when it's a free pattern only available for one day! Here's a hint...if a pattern can't last more than a day, you really better scratch your head and wonder if it's worth it or not!!

In case you're wondering, these are a water bottle bag, cell phone bag and a palm pilot pouch with huge beads hanging off them. If the beads are bigger than the bags, uh, you better re-think that concept too. Yikes!

Patriotic Tops

Oh gosh, no no no no no no no no...this is so wrong. First it's in fugly acrylic then the stars are all distorted and look like starfish. Then there's the colour choices...oh my!

Cruel and unusual punishment for this teenager... A one shoulder design too...no no no...it's just not right. So wrong in so many ways.

Quick and easy? How about quick and tacky?

Sweatshirt Collars & Trims

And the point of all these would be? LOL! I especially like the one that looks like moss on someone's shoulders. Do we really need trims and collars on sweatshirts?  Not sure it's a fashion accessory many would be begging for...however, if you have some spare yarn in your stash begging to be crocheted, here you go!
Thanks to Jenny for submitting today's fug.

1 Penny Ponchos

Uh, ya, the leaflets for these two ponchos cost a whopping 1 cent each! Seriously, if you're looking through patterns and saw this one and it said "buy the yarn and these two leaflets will cost you 1 cent each" would that compel you to buy the yarn knowing you'd only have to pay a penny for these patterns? How exactly is this a selling point for the yarn? Bad marketing...badddd marketing...LOL

Is it just me or does the model look wider in the one with flowers on it?? Oh shoot, maybe she does in both! I thought black was supposed to be slimming? Wow - just what every woman wants - to make something to make her look wider!!

Fabulous?! Ponchos

Seriously? Fabulous? LOL! Who wants to wear a rug with tassels? And the bobbles? LOL!

And why is her skin that colour? Overtanned or bad picture? Yikes!

And since she is glowing red, what colour is that poncho exactly??!! :| Somebody sure doesn't know how to use Photoshop...LOL

Tinsel Necklaces

Is it Christmas already? Geez, I thought it was! A necklace that resembles tinsel...oh ya, a definite must-have! A free pattern too for any of you who really like it! As the pattern says - "add a cooling touch to a hot outfit with this stylishly unique aquamarine necklace"...ha ha ha...LOL! "Cooling" touch to a "hot" outfit?! Such a wonderful play on words! :|
Thanks to Kathleen for pointing out this fug!
