I get sent this image by readers on a pretty regular basis so I thought it was time to finally post it for everyone to enjoy or be traumatized by…your choice…LOL
And she is anatomically correct and so is her son in case you needed those details! But before I close this post, one of our faithful readers sent along this atrocity which is supposed to be a “pickled fetus”…I’m not kidding either! Just how twisted and warped do you have to be? This one is by far worse than the childbirth doll.

I far prefer seeing a crocheted version of a pickled fetus that the real one that my first ob/gyn had on a shelf in his office. If I were called upon to make one, I’d enclose it in a jar whose lid fit well enough to be permanently upside down.
I wonder what it’s stuffed with …

Polyfill and pellets in the butt

Oh my Gosh, is all I can say! Speechless other wise!!! Now I will need a sleeping pill tonite.

For me, the most disturbing part of the “pickled fetus” is that the lid says “crunchy.” Is that seriously wrong?

Uhhhm … uh … I really have no words to express my feelings here about this. Just … at least it’s not a crocheted crucifix in urine?
God Bless,

LOL loved that comment about wondering what he was stuffed with!! I do have to wonder WHY?? wouldn’t a nice hat challenge your creativity and be more rewarding? I can see the point of the birth doll but sometimes isn’t it a need to know thing….do kids really need to know exactly how it happens? Thanks for posting, I love your blog

Wonder if they have the recipe for pickled fetus’…and to top it off I can’t believe they put it in an actual Vlasic jar!

Well The pickled punk is unique, and the woman giving birth, she is awfully “earthy” and gross…

That will teach me, put your phone down when you’re eating! And of course my husband wanted to know why I made the face so, I had to show him too.
REALLY? crocheted crucifix in urine?

for me, the worst photo is the first one, the crocheted fetus in a jar c’est du déjà vu, it’s already seeing, but the … the what? i do not even know how to call it… (and it has nothing to do with my English translation difficulties!)
and what about the creative process!?… for the fetus, it’s easy to understand what does it mean, in one way or the other
but the … thing? waouh .. weird

Whoever would even think up a pattern for either of these , let alone make them has far more problems than just “too much time on their hands”. They have a serious mental problem & perhaps need a padde room & llllllllloooooooootttttsssssssss of therapy.

Think I saw the ‘teaching tool’ already over on Regretsy.
Regrettable indeed.
No idea why I click on these things.
May 31, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Wow!
I hadn’t found Regretsy before
Most of that stuff makes the stuff here look tasteful!
May 30, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I would like the “teaching tool” more if it was more abstracted and prettier
And I’m soooo not going to ask why the infant needs genitals
The fetus in the pickle jar instead
seems like a “teenager trying to enrage her parents” thing
…And I bet it works, too (LOL)

I fail to see the educational value of a crocheted pickled fetus.
June 1, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Wow. Words fail me…

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in the crochet world!

Please please couldn’t you give a little warning like the highway people do: Road work ahead, 1/2 mile, road work ahead, detour…Detour…DETOUR!!!!!

Pickled fetus must live in Washington DC and be familiar with Walter Reed’s museum of pathology. They have a lot of real pickled feti on display.
June 22, 2011 at 4:22 am
Yikes – GROSS! Never thought such a beautiful craft can be used to produce such grossness!
July 25, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Some of you folks need to get a sense of humor.

The creator of the fetus in a jar happens to be a very good friend of mine. Instead of seeing it as disgusting, try seeing it in the point of view of an artist: it is incredibly creative and she did it without a pattern. It’s an example of what she has learned and how she chose to demonstrate her skill. She is amazing, an not just at crocheting. (Although, that is one if my favorites.) I have been lucky enough to have her as a teacher and I can only hope to pull an idea out of the air and create it as detailed as she did. It’s amazing what people can learn when they are open minded.

the most stuped things i saw in my life i think who put those pics has a mental problem and he / she is stuped, crazy,lazy and will never have a daisy………

Yes ma’am! However, the blog is written in jest and there’s no rule here that WNTC must give credit to anything. A blog is a blog…
