These remind me of that time at camp when we made our own hammocks by tying square knots every two inches in about a thousand pieces of nylon line. After about a billion hours of it, everyone’s knots were more like six inches apart. We took those hammocks camping and everyone’s heads fell through their hammocks. Thank you Outward Bound.
Now that I think about it, I may just have to buy these for the nostalgia.
As a fat chick, I have to say that I’m relieved that these are in “small or x-tra small” because squeezing my enormous, cottage-cheese thighs into these would be disturbing and frightening.
So I had to Google image search the supposed Rodarte tights, to compare. To be fair, the “inspiration” tights are also fugly, but there’s no excuse for these. Time to find better inspiration.
dear lord, they’re serious aren’t they?
they’re really trying to sell a pair of tights that look like rope that’s been caught in an overflow drain for over a year?
“Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?” -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
So when you say “sexy” and “turn heads everywhere you go” what you mean is “everyone will point and laugh at your crazy ass leg gear and your tights will catch on furniture and your boss will call you in to have an awkward talk about professional attire,” right?
They need a garter belt and she calls them tights, the garment that inspires them is fugly, and all I can think of is how horrifically uncomfortable these ghastly things must be. Am I getting old or is she just totally full of it?
#20 tdro…. the “black tool” you ref’d to at http://www.etsy.com/listing/38846857/
]dangerously-sweet must be that long stroker of the previous post. Good to see the Etsy sellers are working together to up their sales.
So you can see, it’s really inspired by high fashion! Only, bad high fashion… then made poorly with yarn of such a fluorescent green that it ends up looking like an algae-encrusted fishing net.

This happens when you go for a stroll in the woods an walk not fast enough; vines will start to entangle your legs or moss will grow on them. An interesting thing to happen in a horror-story or similar, not a good inspiration for thights.

I live on the Northwest side of Lake Ontario and never would have thought that wading knee high in one of the seaweed riddled, unkempt parts of the beach could result in such a fashion statement.
It’s far too early in the morning for me to be seeing this fuckery.
As a knitter, I shake my head slowly in bewilderment. As a Regretsian I say, it looks like somebody fell in a pile of gillyweed and got entangled and then tried to run back to Hogwarths before curfew.
@#49-as far as I can tell, and I have a degree in fashion, Rodarte collection was pretty bad as I remember. So I think it means baggy knitted dresses. They all looked like they were going to sag down to your ankles at any minute.
Oh course, if they had, they could have covered up this mess.
Not since Mastedons roamed the earth has a fashion atrocity like this been created. That goes for its “inspiration”, the Rodartes 2008 sad sorry knitted sh*t collection.
As a knitter, I have to say, this is not knitting. My first knitted item ever was never this bad. This is a bunch of yarn out of the bargain bin from the craft store tied in a bunch of knots.
Let’s not even get into the horror of MOHAIR tights. Oh god, I’m itchy just thinking about it.
Now I go back to knitting REAL socks, that, you know, don’t have holes the size of the MOON in them.
Even the originals would be unwearable, and at least they were flat on the skin. Although I think they would look awful on anyone not a walking skeleton, as the model they were displayed on was. I have worn “lace” stockings before and they catch on everything and tear so easily. None have survived unscathed a normal day of wear. (And not an active day, a sitting around and posing special-events type day) I’m surprised these even lasted the photo shoot…
Gee, what I always wanted. A pair of “stockings” that not only make the user look like she has a ton of varicose veins (from the stray yarn waving around), but also manage to make her look like she’s trying to go the record for the world’s longest running trich infection.

nothing says sexy like green fuzzy/scaly legs.

This must be the new antibiotic resistant strain of poison OOAK.
Would look smashing with the green goddess mossy pussy necklace.

Does anyone have any nail polish? I think I have a run in my stockings.
August 13, 2010 at 4:41 pm
She should see a doctor for that.
August 13, 2010 at 4:41 pm
These are tagged “leg warmers”, but I think they are more like “leg itchers.” Or maybe leg wormers.
August 13, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Heidi Klum could not make these things look good.

If she’s not careful, she’ll have mushroom dildos growing on her legs before she knows it.
August 13, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I didn’t know varicose veins came in green.
August 13, 2010 at 5:00 pm
Do they come with poison ivy soap? I’m getting a rash just looking at them…
August 13, 2010 at 5:04 pm
She can catch fish with her legs.
August 13, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Poor girl. Hopefully with some good antibiotics, it’ll clear up in a few days…

People with varicose veins rejoice!
August 13, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Reminds me of the vine-rape scene in Evil Dead… good stuff.

If that’s knitting, I’m the Jolly Green Giant. Badly knotted while stoned out of her gourd twine is more like it.

If only she used some variegated purple vines, I could buy them and cosplay my grandmother.

buy these Gorgeous tights and Suddenly incorrect capitalisation will Begin to make sense.
August 13, 2010 at 5:38 pm
So are they tights or are they thigh-highs? They can’t be both. Thigh-high tights would mean you couldn’t pull up the waistband much past your knees.
Oh wait, that’s right: I don’t care. Never mind.
August 13, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Yes, I think they WILL “turn heads wherever you go”… but not because they look good!! UGH!
August 13, 2010 at 5:46 pm
As a knitter, I am offended. As a person with functioning eyes, I am VERY offended!
August 13, 2010 at 5:51 pm
The dress the model has on is cute. See I said something nice!! Yay me!
The shit she’s got going on thighs down is an epic disaster.

I’m sorry honey, but you have some fungus growing out of your vagina.
August 14, 2010 at 8:11 am
If I were using the sculpey mushroom miscatagorized as a penis as a knitting needle, my results would be quite similar to this.
Or this looks like my cats tried to knit socks and got distracted.

August 14, 2010 at 8:46 am
I’m a little confused on the terminology. Maybe one of you knitters can help me out.
Does “rodarte” mean “blindfolded”?
August 14, 2010 at 8:56 am
isn’t Rodarte Don Quixote’s horse? If a horse made those, that would make a whole lot more sense.

I was babysitting my friend’s booth in a local arts fair. when a kid asked me about one of the pieces I told him:

this was accepted as a perfectly reasonable answer.
