“I Have Pox” Sweater
Is it just me or does this sweater look like it has some sort of pox? Really, bobbles that large? And having the model pretend they’re doing some sort of ballet move while straddling a pillow? Please!
Ah well, a pretty background setting doesn’t distract from the humongous bobbles either - nice try though!
I can’t help but think this sweater is a tad boxy too - why else is she seated? And the bulky yarn doesn’t help either.
Rowan, Rowan, Rowan - sheesh.

The sweater says “HELP ME” in braille.

Some of those monster bobbles might qualify as fun, but have you noticed how pairs of them under her arm look like, uhh, testicles? It looks like the back end of my cat before I had him fixed.

OUCH!!!!

You guess she knocked over the chair while leaping to straddle that pillow? Weird. And with those bobbles, that sweater must weigh a ton–wonder how a skinny ballerina dances in that? Oh–maybe that’s what caused the fall . . . . .

I see you have this filed under “For Women” but is that model male or female? I genuinely can’t tell. If it’s a woman, that bulky piece of crap is making her look enormous about the torso. And if that’s a man, the sweater’s still ugly.

I do believe that this is a fertility sweater and we are all witnessing a mating dance! That poor pillow! Avert eyes! Run away!!!

Wow! That thing kind of leaves you speechless, no? It looks like she has rows and rows of big, hairy, ugly bug moths all over her sweater. I’m surprised Rowan didn’t put those stupid bobbles all over the poor pillow.

I want to pop it.

It is a mole cozy sweater.

Speaking of Rowan, I’m currently reading a collection of the scripts from “Black Adder” starring Rowan Atkinson. I was reminded of something he said in the first section:
“As my tutor, Old Bubbleface, used to say, ‘Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may come down with some disfiguring disease!’”
Funny how this reminded me of that. . .

Black Adder rules!!!!
How’d you get scrpits???
Are they in a book?

It really wouldn’t be a bad sweater without the bobbles. If it were just a casual sweater with a square design. Alas, some poor designer couldn’t leave it there.

Hmmm…..this seems like a perfect match for the foxtail crochet poncho. This piece is designed to be worn by the male and the foxtail by the femail…wouldn’t they make a lovely couple?

Alba, I ordered it off of Amazon.com
“Black Adder—The Whole Damn Dynasty 1485-1917″
Just cut-and-paste the title into Google. I managed a used copy, and it arrived in a twinkling. Whenever I quote from it, it draws hoots!

I thought I’d never stop laughing when I saw the “cat suit” and read the comments, but now I’ve started all over again. I’ve been so entertained and laughing so hard that my DH heard me from the other the end of the house and had to investigate! He could barely keep from laughing while nodding his head at the lovely creations listed on your blog. Love this place!

The sweater screams “Bring out your dead- clang”

I cant stop laughing, WTH?

God. I want to pinch them like nipples.

If you have a punch card knitting machine this would take hardly any time. So if your a teacher or a theme person a sweater for one day may work.

I like the sweater, but why have a dancer modeling it.
