A Red Gown

And the Oscar goes to...

I saw some knit sushi once, and I felt very inspired. I decided I wanted to look like a salmon. Yummy and big.

Garden Party

This is my favorite little number for a garden party or a tea. I like to wear it with by high heel gladiator sandals, and a wide brim hat, to protect me from the ultra violet rays.

Animal Cruelty

Look at the poor thing. So unhappy.

The Runs

This sweater is fabulous. It fits well, and is a nice standard "guy" sweater. And then, some horrendous cat accident happened, and there are huge runs peppered about. What a shame. What? It was not an accident? No. If the run does not continue down, it was put in intentionally. I thought that urban grunge of this "green day" level of sophistication could only be found now in Seattle. Is grunge back? Can I wear long johns under my camo shorts?

A poncho wrap looking worn and tattered. The effect only exaggerated by the warn jeans. Yes. There is a limit to the size of needles. There is a limit to how big you want the stitch to get.

Angel or Spider

The sweater itself is not bad - but look closely, there are Wings. Actual WINGS.
Or, are those spiderwebs?

The real shock is how MAINSTREAM the source of this material is. Arguably, the largest most popular high end yarn distributer published this. And, might I add, JUST NOW. This is current. Bleeding edge, in fact. So as you grapple for a "Halloween" excuse, there isn't one. The statement from the designer is "A beautiful collection of etheral and dreamlike designs inspired by the crumbling ruins of an ancient abbey."
Really? So the Cob web was inspired by the spiders now installed in the ancient ruins?
Please, in the name of all that is holy, will someone explain this?

In a YEAR of posting, this will be hard to top. Lapses in judgment with fun fur are just low hanging fruit at this point. THIS...this is a top prize winner in my eyes.
I can't even discuss the "styling" on the hair. While it is a distracting bird's nest , that seems to be just a minor point. "Other than the wings, Mrs. Lincoln, what do you think of my hair?"

We'll have a vote later. But I am going to state now, this early on in the year, that this post will be a contender for the year's biggest mistake.

Double Scoop

This was SUCH a good idea, I decided to make two. And, I even did two pony tails, so that I would have a way to show off the double decker.
