Sushi, “insubstantial”? There’s lots of calories in rice. I gained like 17 pounds my senior year of high school eating grocery store sushi a couple times a week.
Reminds me of what I used to look like in baggy sweaters. Why did I think I was hiding anything? Eesh, if anything, makes an unnaturally skinny person look worse!
Ugh, have you been clothes shopping lately? Everything is baggy! Stores apparently don’t cater to people who aren’t slaves to fashion. And big, baggy, and loose is the current fashion. I’m fairly thin and when I try on a shirt my size it looks like I’m wearing a tent.
I should know better than to get butthurt on Regretsy. I am inviting thumbs down and disaster. But I had to say this.
Being skinny doesn’t mean you don’t eat. The girl in that picture? She doesn’t even look unhealthy. She is, in fact, almost exactly the same size I am. I eat up to five meals a day and have never broken 115 pounds in my life.
Rice, by the way, is incredibly filling. Ever wonder why people in poor countries can survive on it? I lived off of rice and fish for a year (in Japan, so not grocery store crap), and gained ten pounds. The more you know.
she does look unhealthy in her other pictures. her wrists, her clavicles, and her thenar eminence are all screaming “underweight.” You can see her top couple ribs. she may not have a diagnosable eating disorder, but she is not at her ideal weight.
She is very thin but a small percentage of people look like that unless they resort to protein powder and weight gaining drinks. Don’t judge by what it would take your body to look like that, everyone’s different.
in the piano dress you can see her first and second ribs, which can be a bad thing. and her clavicles really are very pronounced. I really am sorry that this turned into a thing, this page is supposed to be funny but now I’ve totally bummed myself out
umm, NO. if you actually looked beyond “OMG SO SKINNY NEEDS SAMMICH LOLOL REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES” mode, you would see that she is at a natural weight for her body. look at her frame: she has very tiny wrists, hand bones, and obviously a slender pelvis under the clothing too. this isn’t someone who would be “at her ideal weight” at 150 pounds.
i am much the same shape and size as the model pictured, and if i wear a v-neck you can see my collarbones and topmost ribs a bit, too. my mother weighed even les than me when she was my age; i come from a skinny family as some people do.
it happens.
quit being hateful (under the guide of concern it’s still hateful) and get over it.
What is “ideal weight” anyway? It’s an average weight doctors and specialists throw at you while completely ignoring factors specific to you, like frame size, genetics, thyroid, metabolism, and a million other things I could name. So what if you can see her ribs? The last year or so has been the first time in my life where I couldn’t clearly trace every bone in my ribcage, and I’m in perfect health. Sure, she may be under the AVERAGE weight, but looking at her skin, wrists, etc., she clearly doesn’t have an eating disorder. Being bony is probably perfectly normal for her. Or maybe she puts on fat in different ways? She could have a HUGE ass. Regardless, it’s a bit overbearing of you to presume YOU know HER ideal weight.
Aikoe, I’ve already apologized below and explained that I was NOT saying she had an eating disorder.
unchikun, i cannot believe you think I am being hateful.
I haven’t criticized any of you for implying that no concern should ever be brought for a skinny person because you’re anecdotal evidence is that skinny people are fine. THAT WOULD BE STUPID. But you criticize my concern for just the possibility of unwellness in a stranger. If you disliked a joke I made I wouldn’t give a shit. For some reason this matters to me but I don’t know how to react to it.
Where have I said anything mean about her? You can be underweight without having an eating disorder. Being underweight can be unhealthy. How is saying someone looks unhealthy mean? How is expressing vague concern the same as impugning her character?
By pointing out the piano dress photo, I was just trying to show that I didn’t pull those observations out of my ass.
Thank you. THANK YOU. I get a little weary of the whole “beauty comes in all shapes and sizes… unless you’re a skinny bitch, then I get to say you have an eating disorder.”
I’ve been battling hyperthyroidism for a few years, and I’m SO SICK of people thinking I have an eating disorder because my thyroid makes me too skinny!
I’m genuinely sorry mistletoe, please don’t misread my comments. I didn’t mean to imply she had an eating disorder, i literally meant “i am not saying she has an eating disorder.” i don’t know why i commented on her thinness since she probably won’t read or care about my concern, but it certainly wasn’t to vilify her
I bet it would totally suck to be skinny without even trying cuz bitches would get jealous. I’m jealous. Of how much it must suck.
And it probably sucks that people accuse you of having an illness. But I bet some of them are concerned, cuz it’s scary and all. I’m not concerned. As I mentioned before, I hate you for being skinny.
EXACTLY. and let’s not forget the whole “real women have curves” deal, which essentially implies that is you aren’t “curvy,” you are denied your sexuality as a female.
why can’t we chicks all get together and love our bodies WITHOUT hating others’?
You’re quite welcome, Mistletoe. What a lot of people don’t seem to realize is that it’s not just fat people who are made fun of because of weight. Being skinny means you get constant accusations of eating disorders, diseases, and being a bitch, even though society is constantly pushing people to lose weight. It’s not all happy fucking roses on the light end of the scale. As a good friend of mine said, “we both struggle with our weight, just in opposite ways.” I might see an overweight person and think they’re fat, but I would NEVER say anything to them about it, because it’s rude and it doesn’t affect who they are as a person. So why does everyone think it’s OK to come up to me and say “God, do you ever eat? You should see a doctor.”
I was very skinny up until college, plus I’m short. People used to comment on my body all the time (“ZOMG!!! Ur so skinny!!” “Are you anorexic or something?”) I always had a healthy appetite. My sister has actually had trouble keeping weight on for much of her life.
Although I’m no longer stick-thin, I still have tiny wrists and fingers, and my collarbone sticks out like the model’s. Her left shoulder does look weird, but I think it’s because of the position of her arm and the shoulder pad (or lack thereof).
Exactly. I’m pretty skinny myself, and I eat like a ravenous bear several times a day. Some people have a metabolism that processes food faster than other people’s, and it can cause someone to look very thin like this. It’s far from unhealthy.
You and her may not be unhealthy, and may eat 5 meals a day. I agree that this doesn’t make you too skinny or unhealthy, but it does make you EVIL. Evilllll… did you sign a pact with the devil to put those sushi calories on my waistline? I think you did. Evil.
wait, is it funny because she has anorexia or because she can’t hide it? I think if you’re going to make an anorexia joke, it would have been a lot funnier to go with something about her knitting foods instead of eating them
but i’m kind of being a bitch today
I’d not only be afraid to stab myself to death with the chopsticks, but imagine the horror of snagging a tuna roll on something sharp and having a huge hole torn in your outfit?
I agree – it would make a fun pillow! Although I still wouldn’t pay $500 for it. On a sweater it just looks like sushi armour and there’s no hope of a nice drape to the garment.
As a pillow, it would be adorable, but not for 500 freaking dollars! I could buy some stuffed sushi from ThinkGeek and glue to a shirt for a fraction of the cost if that was a concept shirt I absolutely HAD to have.
Sushi is rice with sugar and vinegar, and it is always cooked.
Items made with sushi, like rolls (makizushi) and little strips of stuff on a rice ball (nigirizushi) may be made with raw fish, but they may also be made of cooked things. California rolls and nigiri made with shrimp and eels, for example, usually has cooked seafood.
Yes, I believe the process of “creating clothing or various objects by taking a long fiber (yarn) and looping it with itself with the assistance of two long sticks (knitting needles)” is considered “prior art” and has probably been in the public domain for the past 10,000 years.
Unless she’s invented a machine to make the damn things.
But there are already knitting machines! I actually really want one to churn out afghans. Unless you meant fancy knitting machines to make exclusively sushi knits, which I’m sure would be a first.
Because it could be cute & fun? I’m always impressed when people knit or crochet little 3-D stuff like amigarumi. The sushi plate itself is pretty cool; it would make a cute pillow, or maybe even work as the front flap on a messenger bag?
The sweater however, is a fashion disaster. Not to mention a poke-out-your-eyes hazard.
What exactly is she patenting? The 3-D? Not real new. The specific sushi designs? Pretty sure that’s been done. The chopsticks stuck in the shirt? OK, maybe. The completely unique fucktardiness of the entire trainwreck? PATENT GRANTED!
My grandma used to make things like this for us when we were kids, but here’s had pictures of birds, or flowers on it and were ironed on, then outlined with lots of puffy paint and love.
aaaaaaw, my grandma used to make sweaters for me too! lol but they were 3D sweaters… I remember like 15 years ago she made me one of a snow man with a 3D scarf and snowflakes…
I loved it! now… it’s kind of embarrassing haha
Ack! My mother’s favorite outfit to wear to my softball games was a white t-shirt and shorts set. She painted it herself. A giant fruit basket that covered both the shirt and the front of the shorts. Each piece of fruit was outlined puffy, gold sparkle paint.
Yes, yes it is. You must, in order to speak Whimsicle Fuckerese, unlearn all English spelling and grammar and learn to use the capslock to virtually shriek misconceptions about copyright law when in a bad mood because your item was featured on Regretsy.
Wow, real chop sticks! The next sweater could be a chopping board with veggies and a real knife, or pieces of metal and a real working blow torch, or body parts and a real scalpel.
They have similar shirts to this all around these days. Like a shirt that looks like a window with blinds and there’s a pull string on the shirt that actually pulls it up to look like the blinds are up. There are some other designs similar to that as well. They also have those really weird shirts that look like drums and you can actually make sounds from them.
So this idea isn’t completely and totally off the wall.
Knowing all of that, I was thinking, “haha not bad!” but then I scrolled down and…. 488 dollars? are people insane?
I totally love the idea, but I honestly don’t think it’s a $500 one. I’m a knitter and it’s no problem to pump out that many rows of garter stitch. The sushi part is clever, but not so intricate that it merits a $500 price tag.
Actually, if you also value the time she put in it, handknitting is worth $500 or more. (Not necessarily THIS handknitting, mind you.) Last time a smartass asked me to knit him a pair of socks, I added up the cost of yarn and my time (at my normal pay rat) and it came to nearly $400, and that was just for socks! So the only thing I’m actually not quibbling about is her price. Her taste level, now, mind you….
Really?!? Blinds that actually work? Tell me that’s not a slap in the face just waiting to happen. It would be one for me. I just can’t resist things like that. >:>
This afternoon, I stopped to get pizza for dinner, and, while I waited, I went to the grocery store and bought Reece’s cups, Mt. Dews, and SlimFast. I only spent $26.
i got in trouble at a publix today for draping myself over the cart while in the wine section and falling asleep. I didn’t mean to fall asleep I think was already half drunk and the sight of all that wine made my body thinking we were drinking more. it’s my sister’s stupid fault for insisting we buy real food anyway, we already had tons of microwave popcorn and canned beans at the house
Those jerks at the liquor store give you grief about food stamps too? I’m like, “I don’t see you bitching about my bread, and it’s made of wheat too, so give me the damn vodka and we’ll call it even.”
hey, I’m at least as erotic as a blood-sucking sparkle shrimp latched onto an otherwise wonderful booby. I don’t just have irrational fears. I also have a non-sexual booby obsession; what my sister calls a drinking problem, but I call “what’s that? I can’t hear you, sister, over this AWESOME buzz I’ve got going”; and i’m constantly oiled up in a delicate patina of microwave popcorn grease as i flail around in my booze-soaked haze
Seller: “I made this top for the major international yarn exhibition in Italy (Pitti Filati) where it received media coverage.”
“This is your reporter from the Major International Yarn Exibition in Italy, with the latest- WAIT- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING??? I- I’m sorry, I don’t know what to say. Back to you in the studio, Sophia, please.”
“Questo è il vostro reporter dall’aeroporto internazionale di Major Filati esposizioni in Italia, con i più recenti-aspetta-Che cazzo è quella cosa?? I-Mi dispiace, non so cosa dire. Torna a voi in studio, Sophia, per favore.”
I’ve seen how Italians dress. Even THEY wouldn’t sport this shit.
Also, it gives me an idea for the 72 ‘Fish’ soy bottles I have collected over the years….I just can’t throw the little guys away because they are fish shaped as such and I have anthropomorphised them. I think they could make really good/horrible earrings.
I agree with this and all the other posts with similar ideas- someone with craftiness on here needs to jump on making 3D sushi bags and pillows for fellow Regretsians to buy.
i have really small boobies. naturally, i’m obsessed with others women’s boobies. putting tasty food on your boobies is not fair. as a heterosexual female obsessed with other women’s chests, i’m confused enough as it is without you bringing hunger into the equation. maaau
Can I get it in a Chinese food buffet? A little Lemon Chicken, some Beef with Broccoli, Mai Fun, some Fried Wonton? Nestle it all on a bed of Shanghai Noodles or Chow Mein? How about some Spring Rolls & maybe some Hot & Sour Soup for a fascinator?
I was on stage crew in a high school that did a number of pretentious pseudo-intellectual shows written by students.
I could recreate this mess (typo and it stays) with some cardboard, a box cutter, fabric paint, and a tablecloth. You know, for the upcoming production of, “Love and a Piano: An Erotic Journey Between Woman and her Music.”
To me, this one is an almost. The dress by itself–without the crazy shoulder parts or leggings–is really cute! I would not spend $495 on it though…but then again I’m afraid to spend more than $20 on jeans…
And if you look at her sales, someone else is crazy enough to have purchased one already. Not as crazy as whoever bought http://www.etsy.com/transaction/43834704 though.
I could see a practical improvement if she had just repeated the loops for those chopsticks all the way down and then left off the sushi. You could be a portable silverware drawer.
Maybe, MAYBE if she hand knit the sweater it would be worth that much. I’m thinking knitting machine for the sweater itself, if not purchased outright.
I have some bad news for her patent application. You have to log in to Ravelry to see this link, but it demonstrates how “done” knitted sushi is. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#sort=best&query=sushi I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure just putting it on a shirt isn’t considered “novel” in a patentable way.
More proof that Etsy is THE platform for tasteless, not-really handmade, unable to write a full sentence (ok, Admins started it!), fair pricing, or photos and decrips that actually picture and describe the actual object being sold. Etsy breeds them in their beige-composted-upcycled-grow-room in the basement.
This sweater is not something I personally would wear, but I can definitely see it on a person who’s excentric or wants to make some kind of a statement (like “Got sushi in your breast milk?” or “Eat sushi, support Japan). HOWEVER, the price does seem quite steep (admiteddly I’m judging by my own pockets:))
She does have some fabulous pieces in her shop though… As conservative and utterly unadventurous in my clothing as I am, I would still dare to wear quite a few of them!
Maybe she should reconsider her target market. I wonder if my old dad would wear this—he’s always spilling food & drink down the front of his shirt. At least on this thing, it might look intentional.
“That’s not dried shamrock shake spillage; it’s wasabi”
She wants 100 bucks for what is essentially two really long, knotted, i-cords. You can make i-cords with a little machine-dealy! (technical term) At least there’s no patent pending.
I’m putting myself out there as a total idiot by saying that I think the “Vajazz Hands” top is something I find rather cool! I think I kinda want one, but NOW for $400…
I think she’s very creative, and some of these things look really hard to make.
Unfortunately they also don’t look like something most people would ever wear. Maybe she’s targeting a very small group of people in Manhattan or somewhere?
Just think what you could hide in that three-dimensional sushi. How about a version of it that lights up and make noises? You could even it “sing.” Talk about taking that annoying singing fish to a new level…
Cuz you were THE first person to ever, EVER, in the history of the world, think of gluing some dumb 3d shit on a shirt. Now that you have it, here’s your complimentary bottle of puff paint, buttons and a brooch made of cat hair.
I’m surprised no one has said it yet, but imagine how much worse this sweater would be on someone with a big rack! The “plate” would either be folded in half, or worse, stick straight out from the tops o’ the boobage!
She is from Japan, therefor she is very small. They don’t have a term for eating disorders because in that culture you do everything you can to stay thin.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cut of a lot of her knits. But I don’t really like things hanging off my clothes and I doubt the sushi would look great over my boobs, so I guess I’ll to keep searching. I just want that sweater without the sushi… it’s GEORGEOUS!
Her stuff is actually really cool, if not totally impractical and ridiculously expensive. But she seems talented.
However, maybe there needs to be a “Things that aren’t Gothic Lolita” tag created for some of them.
One positive aspect of this knitted sushi thing might be that it could make people who spill food on themselves in public feel less conspicuous. It’s not clumsiness, it’s wearable art.
Or maybe I just need another drink. Yes, that’s quite likely.

That lady needs to eat something more substantial than Sushi.
April 26, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Sushi, “insubstantial”? There’s lots of calories in rice. I gained like 17 pounds my senior year of high school eating grocery store sushi a couple times a week.
April 26, 2011 at 3:27 pm
That’s because they put sugar in that rice.

Yeah, it was definitely all that sushi. Not the booze.
April 26, 2011 at 5:41 pm

Which picture were you looking at where you could see ribs at all? In all the pictures in the shop her entire torso is covered.
April 26, 2011 at 6:00 pm

April 26, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Yeah but think of the functionality! If she orders take out and then realizes they didn’t give her chopsticks..voila!
That alone has to add $1.57 of value.

April 26, 2011 at 2:39 pm
although, I will say the sushi itself is well done, but this is clearly not a sweater for wearing.
It need a shadowbox frame, a nicer set of chopsticks and a sweater art competition.
April 26, 2011 at 2:52 pm
I agree – it would make a fun pillow! Although I still wouldn’t pay $500 for it. On a sweater it just looks like sushi armour and there’s no hope of a nice drape to the garment.

Sushi, by definition, cannot be well done. It’s raw. But I digress.
Wait…you meant….ooooh.

Sushi is rice with sugar and vinegar, and it is always cooked.
Items made with sushi, like rolls (makizushi) and little strips of stuff on a rice ball (nigirizushi) may be made with raw fish, but they may also be made of cooked things. California rolls and nigiri made with shrimp and eels, for example, usually has cooked seafood.
April 27, 2011 at 9:39 am
billm, can you help gojira with your point? s/he seems to have missed it.
April 26, 2011 at 2:39 pm
I’m having trouble seeing what exactly is patentable? Shoving chop sticks into a sweater?
I want to send them a convo and say “I demand to see the patent application that’s been filed.”
April 26, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Professor Steamworthy’s patented wearable eating-stick holder, with extra whimsiclity!
April 26, 2011 at 3:55 pm
It must be the 3-D knitting that’s patentable. After all, all knitting until now has been strictly 2-D, right?
April 26, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Yes, I believe the process of “creating clothing or various objects by taking a long fiber (yarn) and looping it with itself with the assistance of two long sticks (knitting needles)” is considered “prior art” and has probably been in the public domain for the past 10,000 years.
Unless she’s invented a machine to make the damn things.
April 26, 2011 at 4:33 pm
But there are already knitting machines! I actually really want one to churn out afghans. Unless you meant fancy knitting machines to make exclusively sushi knits, which I’m sure would be a first.
April 26, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I’m sure there would be little to no demand for such a knitting machine.
April 26, 2011 at 6:22 pm
I would assume she means a design patent for “an ornamental design of a functional item.” I doubt she would get one for this, but it is a real thing.
April 26, 2011 at 6:24 pm
And since you cannot get one and a copyright, she clearly doesn’t know what she is talking about.
April 26, 2011 at 6:29 pm
It’s the etsy version of calling “Shotgun!”
April 26, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Can you describe the specifications of this shotgun? Can I pack it with scatter shot to be rid of these Etsy creatures?
April 26, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Also useful in case of vampire attack.
April 26, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Patents; I do not think they mean what you think they mean.
April 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm
She’s also a little unclear about either copyrights or the word ‘and’.

April 26, 2011 at 2:44 pm
I think that IS her shoulder. Her arm on that side is doing a weird model-y pose thing that the sweater doesn’t really seem to merit.
April 26, 2011 at 2:41 pm
I want this, and I can’t understand why.
April 26, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I e-mailed it to some knitting friends, and believe me, they are all about it.
April 26, 2011 at 2:55 pm
My daughter would love this, but I am not paying that price for it.
April 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Don’t feel bad. I kinda love the rest of her shop as well.
I mean, how awesome is this?

It was listed earlier, has three or four wolves on it and a nice high collar
April 26, 2011 at 4:39 pm
Thats rather sexy.
oh right, I’m gay.
That is FIERCE, girlfriend
April 26, 2011 at 6:53 pm
This is amazing!
April 26, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Because it could be cute & fun? I’m always impressed when people knit or crochet little 3-D stuff like amigarumi. The sushi plate itself is pretty cool; it would make a cute pillow, or maybe even work as the front flap on a messenger bag?
The sweater however, is a fashion disaster. Not to mention a poke-out-your-eyes hazard.
April 26, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I LOVE the flap on a messenger bag idea. Quick, get a patent on that before someone co-opts it!
April 26, 2011 at 3:34 pm
i know your pain
April 26, 2011 at 2:41 pm
if the uh..artist would remove the food and utensils, this would be a cute sweater.
Left as it is it looks like maybe she fell while carrying her dinner and thought..wow, I could sell this shit.
April 26, 2011 at 2:42 pm
What exactly is she patenting? The 3-D? Not real new. The specific sushi designs? Pretty sure that’s been done. The chopsticks stuck in the shirt? OK, maybe. The completely unique fucktardiness of the entire trainwreck? PATENT GRANTED!
April 26, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Maybe she’s trying to patent “charging $500 for a sweater”.
April 26, 2011 at 2:43 pm
My grandma used to make things like this for us when we were kids, but here’s had pictures of birds, or flowers on it and were ironed on, then outlined with lots of puffy paint and love.
April 26, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Awwwwwwwww…
April 26, 2011 at 4:00 pm
aaaaaaw, my grandma used to make sweaters for me too! lol but they were 3D sweaters… I remember like 15 years ago she made me one of a snow man with a 3D scarf and snowflakes…
I loved it! now… it’s kind of embarrassing haha
April 26, 2011 at 4:38 pm
No way man! Grandma crafts live FOREVER!
April 26, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Ack! My mother’s favorite outfit to wear to my softball games was a white t-shirt and shorts set. She painted it herself. A giant fruit basket that covered both the shirt and the front of the shorts. Each piece of fruit was outlined puffy, gold sparkle paint.
So embarrassing…..
April 26, 2011 at 2:43 pm
I like how she hid her face by turning at juuust the right angle. That was smart.

“Patent Pending”: Whimsicle Fuckerese for “I’m working on figuring out how patent law works”.
April 26, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I think ‘pattern pending’ would be more profitable.
April 26, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Can I take classes in Whimsicle Fuckerese? Is it harder than regular Fuckerese, or is it like a dialect?
April 26, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Yes, yes it is. You must, in order to speak Whimsicle Fuckerese, unlearn all English spelling and grammar and learn to use the capslock to virtually shriek misconceptions about copyright law when in a bad mood because your item was featured on Regretsy.
April 26, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Wow, real chop sticks! The next sweater could be a chopping board with veggies and a real knife, or pieces of metal and a real working blow torch, or body parts and a real scalpel.
Does this come in children’s sizes?
April 26, 2011 at 2:45 pm
They have similar shirts to this all around these days. Like a shirt that looks like a window with blinds and there’s a pull string on the shirt that actually pulls it up to look like the blinds are up. There are some other designs similar to that as well. They also have those really weird shirts that look like drums and you can actually make sounds from them.
So this idea isn’t completely and totally off the wall.
Knowing all of that, I was thinking, “haha not bad!” but then I scrolled down and…. 488 dollars? are people insane?
April 26, 2011 at 2:54 pm
I totally love the idea, but I honestly don’t think it’s a $500 one. I’m a knitter and it’s no problem to pump out that many rows of garter stitch. The sushi part is clever, but not so intricate that it merits a $500 price tag.
April 26, 2011 at 3:51 pm
I read that as “pimp out that many rows of garter stitch”. Something is seriously wrong with me.
April 26, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Don’t worry. That works too. LOL
April 26, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Actually, if you also value the time she put in it, handknitting is worth $500 or more. (Not necessarily THIS handknitting, mind you.) Last time a smartass asked me to knit him a pair of socks, I added up the cost of yarn and my time (at my normal pay rat) and it came to nearly $400, and that was just for socks! So the only thing I’m actually not quibbling about is her price. Her taste level, now, mind you….
April 26, 2011 at 10:47 pm
I can make a pair of socks for $20 yarn cost.
Which pretty much means I don’t make them to SELL.
Because, like the fireman-coat handbag bitch, if you want to get paid by the hour for knitting stuff, you’re going to be shit out of luck.
We now return you to your regular scheduled drinking.
April 26, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Really?!? Blinds that actually work? Tell me that’s not a slap in the face just waiting to happen. It would be one for me. I just can’t resist things like that. >:>

Excuse me, my valance is up HERE.
April 26, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Yeah, my younger brother has the one with the guitar that really works. But his only cost $50.
April 26, 2011 at 5:34 pm
http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=guitar+shirt&x=0&y=0 You can buy it directly from Think Geek for $30 or less & I promise shipping is dirt cheap!
April 26, 2011 at 8:04 pm
My husband has the drum one. His bother’s wife bought each of the siblings a shirt. One brother has a keyboard and the other an electric guitar.
She thought they were hilarious. He asked me to throw it away when we got home……
April 27, 2011 at 7:39 am
*snort* I think it’s hilarious, too. #tasteFAIL
April 26, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I actually fluv this. I’d knit one for my wife, but I’m scared of fake Internet lawyers coming after me.
April 26, 2011 at 2:50 pm
Yeah, you’ll need to watch your back once that patent gets past the “pending” stage, huh?
Then again, with the Etsy admin’s track record…
April 26, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I kind of love it, but not 500 dollars worth. It’s just all the fun of a tacky Christmas sweater with year long appeal.
April 26, 2011 at 2:46 pm
A flip-fop hat would complete the look!
(and I don’t think that’s a shoulder PAD – shoulder BONE).
April 26, 2011 at 2:46 pm

April 26, 2011 at 3:31 pm
i got in trouble at a publix today for draping myself over the cart while in the wine section and falling asleep. I didn’t mean to fall asleep I think was already half drunk and the sight of all that wine made my body thinking we were drinking more. it’s my sister’s stupid fault for insisting we buy real food anyway, we already had tons of microwave popcorn and canned beans at the house
April 26, 2011 at 3:39 pm

April 26, 2011 at 3:27 pm
i think it’s kind of scary. that’s not a criticism; i have an irrational fear that creatures will latch on to me if i go in lakes or ponds.
April 26, 2011 at 3:54 pm
I actually found that erotic. (the pasties, not the scared illbilly).
April 26, 2011 at 4:25 pm
hey, I’m at least as erotic as a blood-sucking sparkle shrimp latched onto an otherwise wonderful booby. I don’t just have irrational fears. I also have a non-sexual booby obsession; what my sister calls a drinking problem, but I call “what’s that? I can’t hear you, sister, over this AWESOME buzz I’ve got going”; and i’m constantly oiled up in a delicate patina of microwave popcorn grease as i flail around in my booze-soaked haze
April 26, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Sorry, illbilly. You are unbelievably erotic; scared, drunk and/or flailing. The microwave popcorn grease patina is a bonus, though.
April 26, 2011 at 4:36 pm

I like my clothes to have a certain fishy quality, and I’m sick of fishing ‘em up myself. This will save me so much time. Thank you etsy.

Also, it gives me an idea for the 72 ‘Fish’ soy bottles I have collected over the years….I just can’t throw the little guys away because they are fish shaped as such and I have anthropomorphised them. I think they could make really good/horrible earrings.
April 26, 2011 at 6:27 pm
I love those things. I’d totally buy one on a necklace.
April 26, 2011 at 2:54 pm
This is really well made, but… a SHIRT? Really? I’d maybe buy it as a bag or something(and oh yeah, not 500 dollars!).
April 26, 2011 at 5:18 pm
I agree with this and all the other posts with similar ideas- someone with craftiness on here needs to jump on making 3D sushi bags and pillows for fellow Regretsians to buy.

You wouldn’t have to order; you could just point to various parts of your shirt and Wah La! no language barrier.
April 26, 2011 at 3:00 pm
The model is so very slender that the front of the sweater seems to be wearing her, rather than the reverse.
This isn’t meant to be a put down of her body…it just looks a bit strange on her.
(she wrote, wondering if it would actually look good on anyone..)
April 26, 2011 at 3:06 pm
uhhh… can someone tell her she’s got some food on her shirt?
April 26, 2011 at 3:08 pm
It’s a cute novelty sweater. But not a $500 novelty sweater. $50, maybe.
April 26, 2011 at 3:10 pm

ffff…. you probably have to ship her your own sushi as well. *headshake*

April 26, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I was on stage crew in a high school that did a number of pretentious pseudo-intellectual shows written by students.
I could recreate this mess (typo and it stays) with some cardboard, a box cutter, fabric paint, and a tablecloth. You know, for the upcoming production of, “Love and a Piano: An Erotic Journey Between Woman and her Music.”
That’ll be $500.
April 26, 2011 at 3:25 pm
To me, this one is an almost. The dress by itself–without the crazy shoulder parts or leggings–is really cute! I would not spend $495 on it though…but then again I’m afraid to spend more than $20 on jeans…
April 26, 2011 at 3:49 pm
That dress is stunning!
April 26, 2011 at 5:07 pm
i’m stunned
April 26, 2011 at 5:22 pm
And if you look at her sales, someone else is crazy enough to have purchased one already. Not as crazy as whoever bought http://www.etsy.com/transaction/43834704 though.
April 27, 2011 at 2:49 am
Crazy, but talented!
April 26, 2011 at 3:14 pm
I could see a practical improvement if she had just repeated the loops for those chopsticks all the way down and then left off the sushi. You could be a portable silverware drawer.
But not for $500, unfortunately.
April 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm
This is probably not the best sweater to wear in front of a bunch of starving poor orphaned children…
April 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Give the vague phrasing of patent requirements… you may actually be able to patent a knitting pattern as “method”…
April 26, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Maybe, MAYBE if she hand knit the sweater it would be worth that much. I’m thinking knitting machine for the sweater itself, if not purchased outright.
April 26, 2011 at 3:18 pm

I have some bad news for her patent application. You have to log in to Ravelry to see this link, but it demonstrates how “done” knitted sushi is. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#sort=best&query=sushi I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure just putting it on a shirt isn’t considered “novel” in a patentable way.
April 26, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I just got the “smelt” joke.
April 26, 2011 at 3:26 pm
This sweater strikes me as a solid case of “Just Because You CAN Do Something Doesn’t Mean You Should.”
April 26, 2011 at 3:27 pm
There must be a counterweight in the back.
One question: “Kimono”?
April 26, 2011 at 4:16 pm
I don’t think Kimono means what the knitter thinks it means…
April 26, 2011 at 3:28 pm
More proof that Etsy is THE platform for tasteless, not-really handmade, unable to write a full sentence (ok, Admins started it!), fair pricing, or photos and decrips that actually picture and describe the actual object being sold. Etsy breeds them in their beige-composted-upcycled-grow-room in the basement.
April 26, 2011 at 3:28 pm
I suspect it’s the knitting pattern she wants to protect, not patenting the sweater.
April 26, 2011 at 3:52 pm
This sweater is not something I personally would wear, but I can definitely see it on a person who’s excentric or wants to make some kind of a statement (like “Got sushi in your breast milk?” or “Eat sushi, support Japan). HOWEVER, the price does seem quite steep (admiteddly I’m judging by my own pockets:))
She does have some fabulous pieces in her shop though… As conservative and utterly unadventurous in my clothing as I am, I would still dare to wear quite a few of them!

So THAT’S where I should be keeping my chopsticks. Here I was sticking them in my hair, but now I know my shirt the better option.
April 26, 2011 at 4:01 pm
my shirt is* yeesh. and i’m not even drunk yet.
April 26, 2011 at 4:09 pm
On the plus side the sushi is well done – there’s even plops of wasabi and pickled ginger. On the minus side, the sweater is hideous.
April 26, 2011 at 4:12 pm
Maybe she should reconsider her target market. I wonder if my old dad would wear this—he’s always spilling food & drink down the front of his shirt. At least on this thing, it might look intentional.

I am trying to figure out the “gothic spats,” which I like to call “WTF do you have wrapped around your legs?!”

She wants 100 bucks for what is essentially two really long, knotted, i-cords. You can make i-cords with a little machine-dealy! (technical term) At least there’s no patent pending.
April 26, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Well shit, lets run down to the patent office with this one!
April 27, 2011 at 9:03 am
And predictably, she included the word “steampunk” in the description.
April 26, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Haha. At least they would come in handy if you run out of bondage rope!
PATENT PENDING.
April 26, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I’m putting myself out there as a total idiot by saying that I think the “Vajazz Hands” top is something I find rather cool! I think I kinda want one, but NOW for $400…
April 26, 2011 at 4:58 pm
I think she’s very creative, and some of these things look really hard to make.
Unfortunately they also don’t look like something most people would ever wear. Maybe she’s targeting a very small group of people in Manhattan or somewhere?
April 26, 2011 at 8:02 pm
No doubt she’s creative.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t funny though.
April 26, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I like to call this one “The Fondler”
April 27, 2011 at 12:02 am
Excuse me, my neck is up HERE.
April 26, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Really? Over 60 main comments and nobody has pointed out the irony of her saying she’s “not the cooking type” so she doesn’t eat sushi a lot?
April 26, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Hey, proper Sushi is time consuming to make & it takes skill & care. I say this as someone who’s futomaki always looks way too much like hosomaki.
April 26, 2011 at 6:59 pm
I am probably the only person on this site who got that joke, but I just spit water all over the keyboard.
April 27, 2011 at 9:07 am
I had to look hosomaki up in Google to get that joke, but once I did it was worth a giggle.
April 26, 2011 at 4:51 pm
I like how the first few comments say not to judge her because of how thin she is, yet it’s cool to judge fat people. Carry on.
April 26, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Wow, and I thought “Body Sushi” was weird…
April 26, 2011 at 4:58 pm
God damnit, I want Chinese food now. I can’t go out and get any because its raining and my car is out of gas.
DAMN YOUUUUUU.
April 26, 2011 at 5:26 pm
You know sushi is Japanese, right?
April 26, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Served at every Chinese restaurant in Virginia! Most overseas too… Its an Asian country, those are all the same, right?
April 26, 2011 at 7:21 pm
I’m aware. I did not, however, say that I wanted sushi. I only said that this made me want Chinese, by proxy.
April 26, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Perhaps I should have used the more general term of “This makes me want Asian Food”
April 26, 2011 at 5:00 pm
I wanna see someone wear this outfit while travelling. TSA will love it!
April 27, 2011 at 9:09 am
Just think what you could hide in that three-dimensional sushi. How about a version of it that lights up and make noises? You could even it “sing.” Talk about taking that annoying singing fish to a new level…
April 27, 2011 at 9:10 am
Even *make* it “sing” dang it!
April 26, 2011 at 5:09 pm
Am I the only one who’s mind immediately went to ‘used maxi pad?’
April 26, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Sure, here’s your patent!
“Approval for SuSHIT”
Cuz you were THE first person to ever, EVER, in the history of the world, think of gluing some dumb 3d shit on a shirt. Now that you have it, here’s your complimentary bottle of puff paint, buttons and a brooch made of cat hair.
Now pass that pipe. I’m off the clock.
April 26, 2011 at 5:50 pm
I’m surprised no one has said it yet, but imagine how much worse this sweater would be on someone with a big rack! The “plate” would either be folded in half, or worse, stick straight out from the tops o’ the boobage!
April 26, 2011 at 6:29 pm
This sweater could be worse?
April 27, 2011 at 12:03 am
Top o’ the boobage to ye, Kimoutre!
April 28, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Aye, and to ye, Spidey!
April 28, 2011 at 2:18 pm
That would make an awesome gretting that can be used multipurpose.
April 28, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Oops, meant greeting!
April 26, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Can making sushi be classified as “cooking” since nothing is actually cooked?
April 27, 2011 at 2:52 am
Well, the rice is.
April 26, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Did you see the name of the designer?? Its Merlin – so she is magically imbuing the sushi top and that’s why its $500…
I can imagine my fat ass in that top – those choppy sticks would poke my eyes out
April 26, 2011 at 6:41 pm
These are kinda cool, no? http://www.etsy.com/listing/58041544/avant-garde-gothic-wearable-art-knit
April 26, 2011 at 11:04 pm
No. No, they’re not.
April 26, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Hang on a sec, kimono? How is this in any way shape or form a kimono?
April 26, 2011 at 6:49 pm
She is from Japan, therefor she is very small. They don’t have a term for eating disorders because in that culture you do everything you can to stay thin.
April 26, 2011 at 6:56 pm
She’s not the cooking type so she doesn’t make sushi……?
But… isn’t…. don’t you…
I’m going to go lie down.
April 26, 2011 at 7:23 pm
ok i have a knock off idea now i will take a plastic sushi set and glue it to a tee shirt and charge double what they are asking for theirs for it!
April 26, 2011 at 7:30 pm
This is like the hipster version of the bedazzled kitten/holiday sweater.
April 26, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Love you long time! Lay in bed of sushi for you, five hundred dollar!
April 26, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Love this! But for $488. I think that it should come with extra ginger and wasabi.
April 26, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cut of a lot of her knits. But I don’t really like things hanging off my clothes and I doubt the sushi would look great over my boobs, so I guess I’ll to keep searching. I just want that sweater without the sushi… it’s GEORGEOUS!
April 26, 2011 at 8:42 pm
true..I love the wide sleeves. Very pretty, and actually nice on all sorts of body types.
I looked in her shop, and some of her stuff is remarkable.
April 26, 2011 at 9:25 pm
I love that piano dress. Not $500 love, but still.
April 26, 2011 at 11:14 pm
Why aren’t we talking about the GLOVE SWEATER??? (GLEATER? SWOVES?)
April 27, 2011 at 8:14 am
Or ‘spockets’
April 28, 2011 at 2:21 pm
And now is the time on “Sprockets” ven we dance.
April 26, 2011 at 11:42 pm
Her stuff is actually really cool, if not totally impractical and ridiculously expensive. But she seems talented.
However, maybe there needs to be a “Things that aren’t Gothic Lolita” tag created for some of them.
April 27, 2011 at 2:42 am
One positive aspect of this knitted sushi thing might be that it could make people who spill food on themselves in public feel less conspicuous. It’s not clumsiness, it’s wearable art.
Or maybe I just need another drink. Yes, that’s quite likely.
April 27, 2011 at 6:02 am
hairball.
April 27, 2011 at 6:54 am
i actually kind of love this shop. everything is out of my price range, but i think she has some really awesome pieces.
April 27, 2011 at 8:39 am
Way cute. But the chopsticks slipped in seem a bit sloppy…and the price is crazy, hand knitted or not.
April 27, 2011 at 2:33 pm
So I’m going to just skip the anorexia debate and say that this sweater is freakin’ sweat!
Maybe the next time I have a spare 1/2G hanging around I’ll order one.
April 28, 2011 at 6:02 am
How does raw fish require “cooking” skills, anyhoo?
