What NOT to knit

I spend quite a lot of time browsing when I’m not knitting – for all the lovely things I can make when I have time and perhaps grow a couple of pair of spare knitting arms. And for some reason, it suddenly occurred to me (I’m not unique! Have a look at this blog – What Not to Knit) that there must be a list of things that should just never be attempted.

I don’t mean to belittle people’s efforts, or sound superior. But, really?! I’m not surprised that some men run screaming for the hills when it’s suggested that they put on something hand-made.

mankiniI love Christmas. I really dislike Christmas jumpers. I think anything taking so many hours of work needs to be worn more than once per year. So don’t make it so horrendous and wear it with pride not as a joke.

awfulAnd in case crocheters were starting to feel superior, here are two definitely not to do projects.

    Those last shorts come with their own skidmark! Lol. Talk about bad striping luck.šŸ˜‚

    If the shorts were done in black they might work better. Something so dark that the stitches didn’t show (and no skidmarks either.)
