Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hideous hats, ridiculous wraps, embarrassing neckties, and more — they're all on display at The Museum of Kitschy Stitches, a photographic gallery of knitting and crocheting horrors. Want to see sci-fi inspired headgear from the 1940s? Gender-bending sweater sets from the '50s and '60s? Groovy outerwear from the '70s? Museum curator Stitchy McYarnpants has sifted through decades of vintage catalogs, patterns, and advertisements to assemble this astonishingly awful collection. Along the way, she provides sidesplitting commentary about the models and their very unfortunate fashion choices. It's essential reading for knitters and nostalgia buffs!

Review:

"The Museum of Kitschy Stitches's hilarious tour through the annals of yarn history is a not-to-be-missed comedic cautionary tale." Debbie Stoller, author of Stitch 'N Bitch

About the Author

Stitchy McYarnpants is the nom de plume of mild-mannered computer programmer Debbie Brisson, who has made a splash on the Web with her "confessions of a husband-neglecting, cat-shooing, yarn-hoarding knitaholic" blog and Museum of Kitschy Stitches. She lives in Chelsea, Massachusetts.

This book is hysterical and a must-read for anyone in your "stitch and bitch" group. Not only are the pictures entertaining, but the author's commentary beats anything Joan Rivers can dish on Oscar Night.
