    Oh, I dunno, I think it’d be a cute, cheap way to add color if you don’t like always moving pillows off of things when you actually want to use them.

    But for 32 euros she better be sending enough to cover the legs of every chair in my house.

      I’d be happy just getting a set of four — that matched. I mean, for $43 what the heck?

      I guess she ran out of red yarn.

      Oh, darn, I’m SOL.

          I’ve reclaimed quirky, so they’re all using it wrong.

          That listing clearly doesn’t involve narrating your day in song, which is just basic quirkiness.

          It must be the “quirk factor” of adding in a pink one that justifies charging so much. Must be.

    Well, they’re sort of a fun cheap way to add a splash of color–oh wait, no. They might LOOK cheap, but they’re almost $45 (plus shipping).

        But that egg looks very sad, like a child forced to wear something that Granny made so Mom can take a photo and show Granny how adorable the child looks, even though the child isn’t smiling. That only encourages Granny to make more hideous things, year after year, until there is an entire photo album of photos of sad child wearing hideous outfits and then one day the sad child revolts and becomes a hipster who chooses to wear clothes that are even MORE hideous, but they’re designer clothes, so that makes a difference.

        Smoky dealt with the stress of being a perfect cat to his owners by sneaking into the dance studio, putting on striped leg warmers, and performing interpretive dances to Olivia Newton John songs. It was the only way he could get through the day.

        Then, on that fateful day, he discovered the hidden video camera on the shelf and his secret was out.

      Umm I hate to admit this but I actually bought a set of cat legwarmers on etsy a year or two ago.
      They did come in handy later as a way to keep my cat from chewing off his bandage (and his skin) after he’d chewed a wound into his leg because of his allergies. He also has pajamas for the same reason.

      (his allergies are also why his tag says “do not feed rx diet only”)

    You know what? I hate this. I’m not even that late to the party and already it’s gone. I <3 checking out the rest of these people's stores. It's my weekly dose of fun to check out all their other products. But no, an hour late and it's already gone and I can't figure out how to find their stores. Super sad face. :-(

          Right you are, Rushgirl2112! Thanks for pointing that out. (I should have questioned why she could do something as awesome as the chair cover and then something as awful as the chair leg warmers)

          OK, so I guess we didn’t say anything nice about her work, except for the egg hats…and even then it was faint praise.

      Exactly. Who wouldn’t want to see 1000 visits to their item and a few hundred views of their Etsy shop? It pretty much always results in some sales. That’s just foolishness and having no sense of humor, I say. Unless you only have a shop to show your friends what you’ve made, rather than to sell things.

    If they were on a library computer chair, then it’d be yarnbombing. As it is, I kind of want to make similar for the chairs in my kitchen, but I want to close off the ends to protect the tile. If you’re gonna make chair socks, make ‘em all the way or not at all!

    I thought, before scrolling down the picture, that they were going to be little socks to keep the chair from making hideous dragging sounds across the floor. That would at least have had a market amongst the old folks, methinks.

    But this…well, this is just a waste of good yarn.

    I was going to say “C’mon, it’s obviously one of those April Fool’s bogus listings; look at the price. Nobody’s going to pay that!” until she pulled the listing.

    Now I am disappointed in humanity for the first time in 10 minutes, and that’s because I took my dogs outside to play for a bit.
