I bet you guys each $10 that she started out wanting to knit a normal poncho then realized how much work that meant so she got lazy and decided to make it a “fishnet” poncho. Not to mention it completely defeats the purpose of a ponco…
I decided to sit down and make something to disguise my Adam’s apple after the operation. Though I hadn’t envisioned fish net to start, I realized I didn’t know what the hell I was doing!
I forgot to add on my other comment, you can tell that she got lazy because of the “turtleneck” part of the poncho being knit like one would expect a knit poncho to be done, but then all of a sudden it’s the fishnet stuff. I don’t know about her, and I suck hardcore at knitting, but that looks like a couple hours of work right there (at the neck part) too. She probably stopped and realized how far she had to go, then changed it to the fishnet.
Redeeming qualities-um none.
Fugly color, crappy acrylic, strangulating turtleneck, impractical & non functioning poncho action, & absolutely friggin’ bad mental image /lack of fantasy mood factor….
How perfect for Etsy!(I know I know, there is much on Etsy that is worthy & compelling & well made).
do you suppose she made it like this on porpoise? some people will to anything just for the halibut. obviously the sole objective of wearing that is to try to bring a ray of sunshine into everyone’s life. unfortunately the wearer seems out of tuna with social morays. do you suppose it was caused by a bad sturgeon or she’s hard of herring. no use carping on about it. after all, there but for the grace of cod go I
…after all we mustn’t be shellfish and without sympathy for this poor urchin. no need to go about making anemones! i’m sure we can all mussel up some compassion. I’ll clam up now
What I’m really disturbed by is the second photo in her listing, the ‘sensual’ photo where she’s got her hands poised to slide down her tits. Is she having fantasies of surprising a special someone wearing nothing but the poncho and a smile?
Who knew what Larry King had been packing under those suspenders…!!! Once I clicked on the link and saw Larry – he now gets my vote for Best View it on a Turtle EVER ( the model in the picture dropped to #2)

The real contest is for who wore the Mom jeans better.
August 17, 2010 at 4:47 pm
This might actually be kind of neat if it wasn’t for the “let me cover my adam’s apple” turtle neck dealy…
August 17, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I think there’s a plant in my kitchen that’s wearing that macrame hanging planter better than either of them!
August 17, 2010 at 4:49 pm
if it were over joy’s mouth, i’d say she won, but since it’s shutting larry up i’m going to have to give him the win.
alternatively, they could mix it with those poison-ivy tights and go fishing together.

Hey that fishnet caught a stringray!

Aleister Crowley is looking like shit these days.
August 17, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Fuckery like this gives knitting a bad name.
Exactly how is this going to keep you warm in the fall weather?
August 17, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Ah, much less traumatizing. I’m better now, thanks for all the get-well cards.
This looks inspired by seagulls getting their necks caught in the plastic six-pack holders.

#12 – Like she said, “Fuck this shit, pass me my crochet hook. Let’s do this thing.”
August 17, 2010 at 5:00 pm
The perfect cover up for your OOAK Halloween costume.
August 17, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Is this thing dolphin-safe?
Because I can’t hug a tree while wearing it unless its dolphin-safe.
August 17, 2010 at 5:02 pm
It looks like her hands are tied behind her back, and she’s trying to escape the fishing net.
August 17, 2010 at 5:03 pm
looks like spider man attacked her and placed a cocoon on her…she is just like prey waiting to be eaten
August 17, 2010 at 5:04 pm
This is what happens when you catch a mermaid. They sit around in your house knitting net ponchos.
August 17, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I sat down and took a look at this and decided wine was cutting it and am now switching to martini’s.
August 17, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I meant wine wasn’t cutting it. Maybe it is after all, but I am still going for the gin.
August 17, 2010 at 5:06 pm
The thumbnail on Facebook sort of looked like a monkey modeling a sweater!
August 17, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Ain’t nothin’ sells a sweater like a nostril shot!
August 17, 2010 at 5:09 pm
For some reason it reminds me of Silence of the Lambs…???
August 17, 2010 at 5:17 pm
This is actually just the framework for a sweater I am planning to knit.
August 17, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Joe Elliot is on Etsy now?? Did Def Leppard break up or something???
August 17, 2010 at 5:18 pm
it was a perfectly nice sweater until that thread got caught.

This is what happens when you plan to make a poncho but only buy one skein of yarn.

August 17, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Contrary to common theory, fishnet does *not* make everything automatically sexy.
August 17, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Warm brown. Hmm…
What else is warm and brown?
August 17, 2010 at 8:59 pm
The leaves and the kind of viney look to the whole thing just screams pod people to me…

Perfect! Some days I’m all like, my neck is really cold and my torso is hot and I just love wearing things that gets caught on stuff.
She should have labeled it post apocalyptic.

so that’s how Ozzy Osbourne was able to finally quit drinking.
August 18, 2010 at 1:18 am
Warm brown acrylic yarn? Just looks like shit to me
August 18, 2010 at 2:01 am
what’s the point of this anyway? if you want to keep your neck warm but not the rest?
