Look here: you wouldn't want to miss these!

More from the New York fashion show
Another case of "Look here, I've got boobs!"

And what is with the guy behind her taking snapshots? Now I just really am dying to know what the back looks like. Is it a huge yellow arrow that points to her behind?

You are my hero!

I bow in homage to the queen of snarking at fuggliness.

White Wedding?




I'm probably old fashioned about this, but I usually think of the veil being the shearest part of the bride's trouseau. Doesn't this let the guests get to know the bride a little too well?

Bulgarian Design

This one will probably rate several posts. They really do seem to have some lovely, quality, hand knit items. And have a very high minded business philosophy, in print anyway.

Some of it will really get your attention!
I'm sure my DH just can't wait for one of these striking capes.
And many of the ladies fashions would get a lot of his attention.

Oh, the name of the little yellow outfit is Pinochio. Go figure.

Another worthy knit for charity site.

No Skills?

Cruising through the web, and I have recently noticed that several of the crafty sites have sections for "NO SKILLS"?

What is that supposed to mean? And who would want to admit to having No Skills? Isn't one of the reasons that we craft supposed to be to at least develop skills? If nothing else, patience is a skill. Isn't it?

Looking at what they're promoting, I think that there would be a skill or two involved in completing these projects. They're just not an easy to label skill.

And, honestly, maybe they're describing the designers that came up with some of these projects to shill their fuggly materials on caretakers of young children so that it ends up on my refrigerator door!

Macaroon, schmacaroon:
I had really thought this was a cute pattern when I first saw it.

I didn't think anything about how bad this would look until I saw the Macaroon yarn in the reduced bin at LYS.

What they had on sale at 75% off was white with black stringy things and then black with white. Really pretty bizarre. Are we done with this look yet?

I kind of can see it when the colors are great or if the yarn is really soft or feels outstanding. But if it doesn't even feel good, what's the point?

Christmas Ball

I'm not sure, but this child might need counseling.

I know this would have caused loads of entertainment at my school. Like the other kids couldn't find enough to tease me about.

Now, on the other hand; if your kid sees this, and says "Wow, could you make me one of those?". I've added the link to the pattern just in case.

And, if the wearer is 2 years old, I'm sure it would be adorable. Just don't count on a positive reaction if you force a 13 year old to wear this in public. Not that you can ever expect a positive reaction from a 13 year old.....

Men's Wear?

"Kimono-inspired sweater. "Dramatic Plaid" "

Really? Wow!

I don't know where to start.
