Long Live the Granny Square!!

For all that we rant about the Granny Square, and cringe at the thought of the crocheted or knitted monstrosity that a well-meaning relative may bestow,

Today, we should celebrate Maria d'Antuono's survival of the Italian Earthquakes. This 98 year old lady spent 30 hours buried beneath rubble.

And what did she do to pass the time?



No - not that piece.. but yes, she crocheted. She didn't KNIT. She crocheted.

Take that! you wielders of pointy sticks!!!!

Muwwahahahahaha!!

 

Join us tomorrow when we look at things you can crochet with recycled Monsters, Inc parts.  Obviously they had to make room for the latest Movie plushies somehow.

For Your Consideration

The movie was originally called "Home for Purim" but the movie moguls changed it to "Home for Thanksgiving" to have greater appeal...

It's a snoot!

Anyway - that's my precursor as someone who has celebrated Thanksgiving three times (twice in the States, once in Little America in the Sandpit) and thinks... well.. it's kinda neat but ..

 

Jeepers...

Is there any holiday you people WON'T Crochet for???

Anyway... in bringing you today's What Not To Crochet, I learnt that you should never trust a certain search engine (and actually , no, not Google) with the term "Turkey" when conjoined (HAH!) with Crochet.

This is the best...

Like the bolero!

 

Again - loving the bolero - why would you do a skirt???

But this isn't why you're here, really though.. is it?

 :)

 

It's ok...

 

I know.. you need a giggle!

 

And here's something for you..

 

I still can't understand what was so sexy about last year's Turkey Hat.

No.

No way, No day.

And on this blog, we have railed repeatedly against Granny Squares.

I do not understand why people keep crocheting hats for their pets.

(you are so going to die...)

So.. WHAT Sugar-crazed over-fed haze would you have to be in,

 

to Crochet a Granny Square  Hat ...

 

For a Turkey?

 

 

 

Lay Off the Candied yams, folks!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lionbrand Gets Political

The reason this is in as a "What Not to Crochet" is because well...

It's just too funny not to draw your attention to it.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

 I give you:

 

 the Candidates for the

 

 **2008 US Presidential Elections !!!**

 

(Cue inspirational music!)

 

 There are so many thngs to say...

How about :

"Ask not  what crochet can do for you, But what you can do for Crochet?"

 

And before you ask.. No, they haven't done the Vice-President Nominees.

Which is sort of a pity actually, because, despite the fact it would be a God-awful WASTE of Yarn, to do a Crocheted Sarah Palin Finger Puppet

 it's *such* a missed Bunny Foo-Foo opportunity!

Resistance is Futile...

I saw this gem while searching for a toy pattern on Lion Brand's website.

i gasped as I saw this:

ACK!!!

OMG.  it's a hideous crochet hat!  Doesn't it look crazy???  my first thought was....The Borg Queen

The Borg Queen

I guess the simliarities really lie in the facial expression.  But can't you see some nut crocheting this hat so the Borg Queen can keep her slimy bald head warm? hahahaha

If you really want that hat pattern...here it is.

Forgive us for someone here has sinned...

why? why?



I found this gem on etsy FOR SALE!  "Retro 80s swimsuit with a fashionable rose motif..."

Fashionable???

you know what really kills me about this?  the model's pose.

"I can't talk to you right now...i look too good."

and not that my body is perfect (far from) but poor thing, she's bent so strangely you can see her love handles bunching up.

sigh.

How to punish a Cheating Man...

I don't think I can find the words to describe this...

I'll just show you instead:
