Who in their right mind would wear this thing? And where to? Maybe if you pair it up with the ganja hat it’ll be a complete ensemble! Apparently this thing was selling for over $600!
What Not to Crochet
because there's always one more crochet design that shouldn't be made!

Oh come on! Why would you not want to look like a clown threw up on you?!
April 20, 2011 at 11:53 am
It’s kind of like Rainbow Bright meets a Muppet Taxidermist.

Best. Comment. Ever!
April 20, 2011 at 12:41 pm
It’s like those creepy photos of “cats with wings”.
April 20, 2011 at 1:44 pm
wow…. uh….. wow. *shaking head*
April 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Ah, but did it sell?
April 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm
I think that would make for a nice colourful afghan, but not a dress.
April 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Why…why…why?!
April 20, 2011 at 2:58 pm
I have to say this is my favorite blog. Where do you find these????
April 20, 2011 at 5:08 pm
this is not a good job but the colors are pretty. far too expensive!
April 20, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I think that would be cheerful to wear round the house on a gloomy winter day, but I don’t think I’d dare set foot outside! Unless it was a mad fancy dress party I suppose! And not for that price, ouch.

YIKES!!

I bet all the men will stay away from her when she goes out to the bar.
April 21, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Maybe it was made for a gay pride parade. Rainbow Brite!
April 21, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I don’t know… that might be a complete necessity at a hippie festival
And if someone really got $600 for it,
I’m pretty sure I could make a second one
April 21, 2011 at 5:03 pm
It’s like a horrific accident involving yarn and large quantities of melted Crayola crayons.
May 19, 2011 at 5:17 pm
think I have to agree with you there!
April 21, 2011 at 5:19 pm
I’ve found her inspiration!

I absolutely love bright coloured yarns. Safety orange, neon blue, electric green, horrendous pink … love ‘em all. But no one could ever get me to crochet (or even knit) anything quite that garish! $600 to make it would not be enough.
I, too, would like to know how you manage to find these eyesores. They make me smile, but some of the comments make me laugh until tears. Thank you for your efforts to cheer us all!

It is a Burning Man outfit for those chilly desert nights!!! ACK!!
April 22, 2011 at 6:11 pm
A great ensemble for a date with Wavy Gravy.
April 22, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Commenting a couple of days late. (Sorry)
It looks to me as if she’s a big fan of Dr Seuss. Looks kind of like a Who in that get up.

Hi Everyone ..do you know that the woman that bought this colourful creation works with dying children.She has told me that it has bought so much joy and laughter to kids that only have a few weeks to live.Im rapt that I have made a small impact in the lives of those that dont have as much as me. I hope that all my contributions to life are as positive. Much love,Kye
April 23, 2011 at 4:08 am
Now please remove my property from your site,many thanks ,Kye
April 24, 2011 at 1:06 am
Oh dear…
If you put that picture out on the web to sell that item, it’s probably become public domain
And this is just a site where we chuckle at the unusually creative work of anonymous crocheters
So I’m not sure it’s such a great idea to go identifying yourself–perhaps you should ask the site owner to remove your comments
April 24, 2011 at 10:45 am
That’s not a bad idea…edited to include first name only so it’s not identifying anyone.
April 24, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Ahah!
Yup, just removing the full name should help
Good move, I didn’t think of that option
April 23, 2011 at 4:11 am
Hey and just as an experiment ,see how you feel when you do something that acts in a positive way….its incredible…praise someone….say something kind..it comes back and you find you own life becomes joyful..just give it a try..go on ,I dare you..you can all do it..
April 23, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Tried to think of something nice……….It’s colorful…….
That’s about the best I can do. Otherwise I’m speechless.
May 1, 2011 at 10:02 am
Ok, Kye. This um, garment looks warm, colorful and cozy….Better?
May 7, 2011 at 10:42 am
A touch sensitive, aren’t we? Could you not consider that while we’re all laughing at your creation, you’re laughing all the way to the bank? No, you want to go postal and deny us the gift of laughter. Does it not occur to you that maybe somebody looking at this site is also in poor health and appreciates the distraction this photo provides?
May 7, 2011 at 6:05 pm
There were email cries of “take my photo down or I’ll sue you” too but seriously, who’s going to spend their money doing that? Gave me a good giggle anyways and the photo will remain.
April 23, 2011 at 10:05 pm
kye, the outfit is a monstrosity, no matter what its use. I could make children in any situation laugh hard and long without looking as if every neuron my brain was born with went on holiday at the same time.
May 16, 2011 at 11:37 pm
ouch.
