Oh sweet Jesus...I've been contemplating and trying to figure out whether or not I could knit a luchador mask. Seeing those ski masks gives me hope.

Even better, I might have a possible idea for a Halloween costume: Knitted rag doll version of John Wayne Gacy Jr.

Worth it for this one alone

Not since the Gallery of Regrettable Foods^TM has my fancy been so tickled.

Mocking old knitting patterns is too easy. I much preferred the more modern stylings of You Knit What?

I agree jacquilynne, I was very sad when YKW ended. This one is pretty fun, though.

So come on, where are the links? More snarky "let's make fun of food/crafts/ads/etc!" sites, please!

I would agree, but those ski masks are just frightening!

Great. Thanks for the laughs. The book on Regrettable Foods is worth picking up. Egg n olive penguins. Food that looks like vomit goes so well with sweaters/shawls that look like vomit. And for the right setting: http://www.omodern.com/Eurobad/euro.html


The first time I did a link it didn't work, so....
