A Bernat pattern book…all based on “a love affair with fur being timeless”. Yup, that’s what I said…timeless! Not sure how fur and fake fox tails made from yarn goes together. If you aren’t sure about the cover design, I’ve included another just for 
good measure.
Funny how the second model looks rather petrified too…probably wishing the shoot was over so she could throw that wrap and purse in the corner and run for her life!
Thanks Erin for this submission…it’s a good one!

Remember the scene in Ghostbusters, where the woman’s stole comes alive and attacks her?
I would be afraid of that with this monstrocity.

Oh my gawd. She looks like a filthy sea anemone. How could anything like this get through the multi-step process of being publushed? It had to be designed (by a lunatic,) submitted, accepted (by a blind person,) and published (by either a masochist or a horrible business person.)
I think this can be summed up in one word: WHAT?!
August 12, 2006 at 11:38 pm
I hate to be the first one to say it, but doesn’t it look like a pile of penises?

it was the first thing that came to my mind…

Very entertaining site on crochet, keep up the good work! Maybe the big yarn companies will stop publishing outrageous and hideous designs
August 13, 2006 at 9:29 am
ugh … somthing wicked in my eyes … must …. clean … contacts …

Make the designer wear this outside during hunting season—ANY season will do—and perhaps we may yet send a message out there to ALL designers: STOP THE INSANITY!!!
August 13, 2006 at 1:28 pm
It’s things likethis that make me want to stop crocheting.
August 13, 2006 at 3:33 pm
OMG, you’ve outdone yourself this time. Mili Vanili meets Shirley Temple.
August 13, 2006 at 3:41 pm
*wow*
you don’t often see something that bad – unless you check into this site regularly;)
I got a nomination for you – it’s on my own website, may not work because it’s _supposed_ to be ugly. It is definitely bright – check it out.

I’d love to see Bjork wear the second outfit to the Oscars.
August 14, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Damn. I was hoping those were little crocheted animal heads.
Disappointed yet again.
August 14, 2006 at 6:30 pm
EEKK! I’ve heard of notches on your belt but I’m with sweategrrl. Not one but two butt ugly capes covered with withered penises and a handbag to match. Hey and be easy about the Bjork comments Liz ‘cuz I’m a fan.
August 15, 2006 at 12:01 am
ok i agree that the thing that model is wearing is hideous but no matter what you say, nothing can sum up to how horrifying that is!
August 15, 2006 at 11:29 am
What a waste of time, money, and energy. Eeeeyuk.
August 15, 2006 at 12:10 pm
I think the designer needs new meds.
August 15, 2006 at 5:57 pm
may I humbly submit the following comparison? In Italy one can find numerous examples of a fertility figure with multiple rows of breasts (can’t remember the goddess’ name). My theory is that the designer is a rather sick Italian…with a breast fetish.
August 16, 2006 at 12:13 am
Somebody notify PETA! It will serve them both right!
August 16, 2006 at 12:57 pm
LOL the fertility symblo comment cracked me up – I it was called Ephesus – it had about 20 pairs of tits. I love this blog. Whenever I need a really good belly laugh I know where to find it. Kepp your girls up, girls and keep smiling. ^^

OOPS! okay I have the eyeglasses on now and I can see the spelling errors above [she said sliding under a rock while still chuckling].
August 21, 2006 at 2:27 pm
Looks like hanging penises, or pieces of poop. Not something I plan to wear on the town anytime soon in either case.
August 25, 2006 at 1:52 am
It looks like LaToya Jacksons weave has come to claim her soul…or a raging case of dingleberries
August 25, 2006 at 9:41 am
Timeless??? Only if you forgot to change the calendar. Looks like something they would come up with for Clan of the Cave Bear.

On the website they only show the top half of her because someone at Bernat realized that road kill isn’t appealing.
September 23, 2006 at 7:38 pm
this design will make the perfect hate-gift for any mother-in-law
December 28, 2006 at 4:35 pm
They didn’t mean “timeless” — that was a typo. THe original copy read, “TASTELESS!”
November 10, 2007 at 11:40 am
Hmm, well, i don’t really know what all of those things hanging off of it are supposed to be. Is it supposed to be mink or something.
September 29, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Okay, call me crazy, but I don’t think it’s all that bad. I actually kinda like the one on the left.
