Talking Heads

Whoa. Whoa. Who thought this was a good idea? Decapitated heads and half-bodies? Is that really what they were going for?

That little girl scares the bejebus out of me. Ew.

It's too blurry to tell, but I suspect some nippage.

"Good thing this is just a crappy background and we're not actually out in the hot sun or I'd be burning up in this effing coat."

The idea is kind of cool and maybe it would have worked if the designer had made the circle a bit smaller. But, as it is, it just looks like someone stuck a placemat on her chest.

Just Say No To Size 27 Needles

"Mama, I really 'preciate you knittin' me this sweater for the ho-down 'n all. But, I just don't want to go out there lookin' like a dang sheep all gussied up for a cotillion."

At first the "Scintillating Sweater Sheath" had my attention and I almost missed the wonder to the left. You have to click on it to really understand. There's some sort of thing-a-ma-bob that rolls down the front of the sweater. Or something. Honestly, I'm not sure what the hell is going on. Whatever it is, it's "futuristic."

Gauge: 1 st per inch

Ok, people. Again. If you're knitting something on size 27 needles with super chunky yarn, why doesn't it have sleeves?! If you're going to be in a climate that requires a turtle neck the size of Michigan doesn't it seem likely your arms might get a bit chilly?

Wait! I have the solution. Clearly this girl doesn't need these sleeve... things. She's on the beach! Give them to the sleeveless woman on the slopes.

GO! GO! GO!

I love the über 60s-ness of this pattern. I can hear the Velvet Underground playing right now. Oh wait, that's because it's on my iTunes.

The fuzzy inverted U on her chest is, I must say, a bit much. I'd still rock it though. Now I want to go bouffant my hair.

"Hey, Boris. You like my new hat?"

Ok, it's one thing if you want to wear a man-dickey, but aren't you supposed to wear it under your shirt?
