What not to crochet

There is a blog for absolutely everything. Check out "What not to crochet."

I don't need a website to tell me what not to crochet, as I don't crochet, knit, macrame, tat or do anything with wool*, but it is clear that there is a need for this site, based on stuff being created, if only just to entertain.

My parents had a friend who often wore crocheted hats and sweaters and WORE THEM, thinking they were chic on some level (Mars?). They fit her adventurous, happy personality. She recently passed away and now we all remember her wardrobe fondly. I guess our quirks define us.

Our own quirks somehow elude us. Clear to others, but missed by quirk-owner. By this I mean that those who need to visit the "What not to crochet" site probably don't go. And perhaps thats a good thing.


*P.S. I forgot that I was into cross-stitch for a few years, but that's normal (right?)
