Moths Are Practically Butterflies and Other Knitting Fables


Cherith got halfway down the runway before she got a nightmarish feeling that the knitted tarantula on the bottom of her sweater had come to life and was crawling towards her face. She could only hope that her terror didn't show on her face.





Trinity thought her relaxed cardigan jacket design was best accessorized with a smart leather belt and nipples.





Winifred's new baseball design dress was a homage to her favourite sport. She was planning a second football-inspired design in tribute to her second favourite sport, but was having trouble sourcing enough pigskin.





Hetty designed what she considered the perfect desert travel outfit, only to wind up with sunburnt knees and heatstroke when she visited an actual desert. She contented herself with creating what she thought was a very convincing photoshop job for her travel album, and did her best to forget the way all the Bedouins had made fun of her.





Magda's friends found it difficult to make her understand that, though they loved her new off the shoulder sweater, it required a level of styling that, at a minimum, meant changing out of her pyjamas first.





Ester's new ensemble turned out to be as useful for finding her way around her darkened house when she came home late at night as she had hoped, but had an unexpected downside in that it scared her cats into fits.





Shauna felt that her new job as an llama herder required that she wear a llama (or at least alpaca) sweater and a certain elongated silhouette in dress. How could the llamas ever trust her if she didn't appear to be one of them?





Dana's new spring ensemble included her moth-eaten sweater, because what could be more spring-like than butterflies? And moths are practically butterflies.





As a true believer in artistic integrity, Jarvis was thrilled that he'd found a way to reconcile his recently developed appreciation of Picasso with his boyhood love of Mr. Potato Head.





When Mavis didn't finish her knitted jumpsuit in time for the colder months as she'd hoped, she adapted it for spring wear by changing the top's design from a turtleneck into a tank top and adding cut outs to the side.

  1. Ha! These are great! In a way you gotta love how designers put such absurd things out there and act like it's no big deal.
