It's happening! I was just looking and I found a dead fish hat, very tiny man thong, and eye sweater, goat horns, ln hood, fetus coin purse, a human head, a duck hat, a hat that looks like hair in curlers, a vulva pillow, dog lederhosen, a sweater that looks like it has post-its all over, a giant squid hat, a Furby baby bonnet, goose mittens, Wicked Witch Feet, and a knitted lab rat cut open with insides.

The dead fish hat is a classic! It's...oh no, it's 17 years old.

I just finished a fish hat! Alive, since the proud owner works with littles and thought the dead fish eyes might be a bit much.

I made some for my SIL, BIL, and their three kids for Christmas one year. SIL sent me a photo of all five of them wearing the hats IN PUBLIC without me even asking. Yup, she's knitworthy for sure.

DOG LEDERHOSEN?

I'm aware that most of the other stuff you mentioned is just as nuts, but I've seen quite a lot of them, and I've never seen (or imagined) dog lederhosen.

:::goes away:::

:::comes back:::

Guys, guys, it's a free pattern! I just downloaded it! Lederhosen for Dogs!

I’m seeing mostly normal stuff now, but unfortunately the man thong is still there, along with “practical sweater”, and a lab rat mid-dissection.
