Ok, I could waste some serious time there, laughing my ass off the entire time.

Heh. Good find.
Some of it is pretty tacky and funny, totally! Like... Bad Clam! (http://craftastrophe.net/2008/11/shes-a-bad-mamma-jamma/#more-978)
I think some of the pieces are hipster-ironic, though... like, they're making fun of themselves before she does, which kind of makes her mocking of them... unnecessary? Like... Knit Brass Knuckles. (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_8&listing_id=17303843) I think those are great. And the boingboing team would eat that up.

The whole website just enforces my belief that all glue guns should be registered and licensed. ;)

DP ~ What a great find! Hysterical!
:D
But honestly, I don't see what's wrong with these fabric patterns (http://craftastrophe.net/2008/11/why-isnt-granny-answering-the-phone/). I'd sleep on a quilt made from these fabric squares.

I'll see you an M&L and raise you one ISW.

That looks like Will Wheaton.

Coincidentally, it IS Will Wheaton.

Then I suppose it makes sense that it looks like him.

I know someone who went as Wil Wheaton in that sweater for Halloween.

Site loaded fine for me...for the entirety of the FREAKING TWO HOURS I WASTED THERE!! Thanks, though...I laughed pretty hard at some of those...and at others *full body cringe* I echo the request for therapy cost coverage found in some of the comments...

Site loaded fine for me...Yeah, when I got home last night, it was loading pretty good. There is some real disturbing stuff on there

What is this M&L of which you speak? I have only .... 8-10 large bins of unused fabric. Clearly this alarming shortage must be remedied swiftly!

M&L is a very large discount fabric store in Anaheim. They seem to be a clearing house for last year's fabric. They have bolts and bolts of fabric nd really good prices.
If you're not working today, Pru can I coerce you into a trip?
We could also hit Fabric Barn which really doesn't have fabric, but miles and miles of cheap ribbon.

Reminds me of a sweater Ralphie's friend from Sweden or Finland made for him. Turquoise blue with a huge goldfish on the front. It looked like it was made out of yarn. Not to mention it was like XXL on his Medium frame. Good intentions, tragic results.

Sadly, I am at work today. Oh how I crave the yards of fabric and miles of ribbon!

I didn't need much for today's projects, so I just stopped at Joann's. They must do IQ tests as well as efficiency tests before they hire people - and only hire those with the lowest scores.

It is interesting how close "Craftastrophe" and "Craptastrophe" are.
