I imagine walking down a busy city street on a brisk cool morning. Cloaked in my trench coat and a hat, the leaves crunch under my feet as the season’s first frost has crystallized the fallen, orange and red.
Then it happens.
The birds.
They start bopping their heads as their skinny little legs shuffle their fat over stuffed bodies in my direction.
One takes flight.
Then another, and another…
My hat!!!
I suppose it’s really a good option for all those left over pieces of yarn….
Also? So something I could make.
I have NO talent whatsoever – but that’s neither here nor there because this ‘pattern’ is one ANYONE could use, right?

Eek! $45 for that?! I’m slightly outraged…

Oh no no no. It looks like something a young kid (or a drunk adult) made. I see that the shop has a nice mess of a necklace thing to go with it.

You would be surprised how much effort goes into making something this ugly. Also, you might need to completely disappear up your own ass before attempting this one. It seems pretty self-involved, especially at $45.

Fugly. Just fugly. How could someone ask for money in exchange for THIS? Note to crafters: Just because you have made an accessory that is both horrendous and messy doesn’t mean that you have now cornered the market on shabby chic apparel.

Upon first glance, I thought it was a zombie Smurfette…

I made one of those once… I called it a mistake. Then I quit knitting.

Excuse me, ma’am? It appears that a bunch of face-sucker aliens have taken residence in your hat. I advise washing it. In bleach. Or gasoline.

The Fug Girls have a category called “Oh honey, no.”
I believe this would fall into that.
I’m thinking the random strands would drive you crazy on the first windy day and you’d lash out at random passersby and get carted off to the crazy bin. Or is that just me?

I’m actually thinking about wearing some”thing” like that at the Thrill The World event if the weather is too cold. Staggering about in a zombie stance with this sorry excuse for a hat is waaaay spoookay!

I looked at it for a good two minutes before I figured out it was a hat. Horrendous.

the first time I looked at this I didn’t even see the display head underneath. I had to READ that it was a hat, because visually, I couldn’t tell…
