Pissed  

Pissed


I just bought the new katia “special crochet” n°1, and I am disappointed.

Most of the patterns are knit with crochet inserts, not a “special crochet” so to speak, most of them are also unwearable, like “oh! look at me, I’m wearing a dishcloth” or “look! I’ve got a bra!"… And some are plain UGLY.

This really pisses me off, because that makes for the bad reputation of crochet : poor designs. It’s not about the hook, it’s about the design! The hook is just a tool. Blame the right culprit.

:irked:

Ok I was really pissed and maybe I overreacted.
But who wouldn’t after paying 12€ ( = 16 US dollars !) for a crochet magazine loaded with poor designed knitwear, modelled by I-m-so-skinny-I-might-be-blown-away-if-you-sigh girls (I’m so fed up with this, guys, why can’t we see real-life curvy women modelling the garments we want to make? )?
And this…
THIS !?

This is unbearable. UN.BEA.RABLE !

:rant:

As for the other patterns, well, see by yourself

Yikes!! I like the black swimsuit and especially the little top that goes with it, but the other things, especially the one you posted first, are just scary. You are right, it makes crochet look bad. That one model really needs to gain some weight.

Hello Angela and thank you for dropping by,
I'm glad to hear you say that, I was really afraid I was the only one to think so...

  • Crocheted!

  • Is it knitted? Nope! Crocheted! Crochet isn't just for grannies, doilies and floppy funky scarves. I am - fairly - under 50, I have a crochet hook and a yarn ball handy in my purse and I like decorating my shoulders better than my sofa.
