Crochet Car

I was checking out the funny site You Drive What? while passing time at work and found the best car ever!


Bob & Weave

I own a stationwagon so I think it would take far too long to knit or crochet a cover for it

Cute Knits V1.0

Filling up a blog with just all ugly isn't that hard or interesting so I had to add some cute!

I'm not often a fan of knitted things for animals but this one is awesome.

This cute free pattern is from Drops Designs. (aww puppy!) If you check out the ravelry projects for this there are also some really cute cat coats!

The cutest thing I think I have ever seen are these baby goats in sweaters (jumpers)!

Machine knit for the kids so they don't get cold. These pics are from Fias Co Farm, A goat husbandry site.

Ugly Knitting V1.2

I don't want to seem to negative. I love that people offer patterns for free, even big yarn companies with their pdfs saturated in advertising.

I only have one issue with it; when these big companies offer a pattern for free they don't really have to stop to think 'Why would someone pay for this?' This seems to give birth to some delightfully horrendous knits.

These two patterns make me feel funny inside, both from the same designer I stare at them wondering 'Why?'

Team Norge

Don't get me wrong, I love Norway and can even speak a bit. Also they completely are gods of knitting. Even if I was a Norse knitting goddess I don't really think I would want to wear this around(esp in winter brrrr!)

Cold Much Mantle

I don't thing I would want to wear this to Antarctica even though there is no one there to see you apart from pengiuns and seals.

Ugly Knitting

Lately I have been relying on Regretsy to get my through the working day

It's hillarious the stuff people actually try to sell.

I also found and old and no longer maintained, but great all the same, blog about ugly knitting called you knit what?

After a few hours of avoiding work thanks to these sites decided to change to looking at some knitting patterns and BANG there was my own ugly horrific patterns to blog about!

So here for you are two horrible ugly knitting pattern abominations.

First up - The knitted goldfish toilet seat cover.

ONE: I hate toilet seat covers. Why do people use them?
Isn't that why you have a lounge room with a couch in it? to sit comfortably in?

Why would you want to spend any more time that you need to on the toilet?

What if it gets dirty? :-s

TWO:Who says thats a goldfish? It looks like a peach toned blob.

THREE:If that is meant to be a goldfish, Why is it looking half submerged in water?

Why would I want to spend my time knitting a totally useless item thats intention is to make it look like there is an orange blob floating in my toilet?

All I can say is at least the pattern is offered for free (by a big USA yarn company)

The other gross ugly pattern I found was on the same site but is from a book. It's actually a book I want and fundementally not a horrible pattern really but....... well you look

It's just a capey thingy, which I like, but I really think people get a bit mad with embellishing.

Random colour/size and style buttons is a hard look to pull off particularly when most of them have 0% functionality.

What's with the blanket stitch egde? why is it white? it looks like the pencil case I made in kindergarten.

Then there is the age old issue with knitting patterns, What the hell was the director of this photoshoot thinking? The hat looks ridiculous and her shirt looks like it's made from old sheet turned into a pesant blouse.
Mind you, I will still buy the book :)
