But there are still hideous knits out there, and they need to be mocked. So in homage, I bring you Fugly Friday (fugly = effing ugly)(their term, not mine)(but it's appropriate).
I mean seriously, people. What are the knit designers thinking? Who do they think is going to wear this?
This lovely creation is brought to you by Lion Brand, free pattern here.
Where do you begin mocking this? The fact that it makes the probably very thin model look like some sort of very well coordinated bear? Or maybe it's a Santa coat that took one too many trips down a chimney.
Its title is "Rich 'Fur' Coat." Yep, totally fooled me. I thought it was real fur all along. Not to mention the fact that the "fur" is 27 balls of Fun Fur. I shudder at the thought of Fun Fur at all. But 27 entire balls of it? Not to mention that it's Wool-Ease as a base? Oooh, comfy.
Please feel free to join in the mocking. In fact, I encourage it. And if you want to send me a contribution for a future Fugly Friday (I think I'm going to make this a regular feature) you know the address.

Hi Sarah! Thanks for visiting my blog and for the great links! (p.s. That coat truly is hideous!!!)
I made a cat bed out of wool-ease and fun fur once. Even the darn cat wouldn't go near it.
My grandmother wears the most god awful stuff most of the time; all of the grandkids pray no one we know sees us out with her (she still thinks she twenty something and in 80's at best)... I do have to say, I believe this is too awful even for her to wear...(cringe) All I have to ask is... Why? For the love of Pete, Why?
I loved You Knit What? and was sorry to see it go. This one truly deserved the title of Fugly. Fun fur. Blah.
