The Museum of Kitschy Stitches is a full-colour showcase of the hideous and shocking (and all too real) knitting and crocheting horrors from eras gone by. Museum curator Stitchy McYarnpants (a.k.a. Debbie Brisson) has trolled knitting patterns, advertisements and catalogues for the most groan-inspiring crimes against fashion ever to assault the senses; sci-fi inspired creations from the 1940s, gender-bending sweater sets from the '60s and the groovy outerwear of the '70s.… (more)

If you've ever been given a granny square throw, crocheted toilet roll cover, or Phentex scarf - this book's for you! It will help with the healing process and allow you to reach the point where you can and you Will bring those items outside to the curb to sell at your spring garage sale or better still - leave at the curb for some poor unwitting soul.

Amusing copy, funny pictures, hilarious author pseudonym. What in the world were these people thinking when they made up some of these creations? I especially liked how a boy who had to wear one of the ugly sweaters would have to kill more hoboes to seem cool at school.
