Those of us "of a certain age" will remember when ladies' magazines included knitting or crochet patterns, recipes, etc. instead of endless articles about diets and sex. I pulled out some of my stuff from the 1970s and present it for your pleasure, along with The Museum of Kitschy Stitches by Stitchy McYarnpants.

I want to personally apologize to every descendant of the First Nations people for this abominable act of malicious crocheting.

Then there was the trend of loopy knitting (or maybe knitting while a little "loopy"?)

Finally, if you are trying to end a relationship with a man, just make him some of these:

I hope none of these items caused you to become nauseous or to spew coffee out your nose as you laughed. If you found this amusing, please share your own humorous or atrocious craft stories in the comments.
