Matchy-Matchy

After the unfortunate incident with that hussy at the Renaissance Fair, Felicity had vowed that from then on she would leave no room for doubt that Adam was already in a committed relationship. 

Groovy

Check out these groovy matching sweaters!

(Dude. They even look like they're the same size.)

Those knitted pantlets are the great, too.  (But why isn't he wearing a matching pair, hmm?  Chicken.)

The Couple That Shares A Wardrobe. . .

Dressing alike had brought them so much closer together! 

Now, they weren't like those creepy couples who wore matching outfits.  (Perish the thought!)  They merely shared a common closet stocked with a seemingly endless supply black pants, button-down shirts, and modest neckties-- the perfect background for their gorgeous knitted sweaters and cardigans. 

It had done so much to address their intimacy issues, to share clothes this way!  They heartily recommended it to all their friends, family, and acquaintances. 

Someone Bring the Pruning Shears

I'll be the first to admit that, as an afghan-doily-crocheter-type person, I have a thing for motifs.  I tend to collect them-- even hoard them away like a chipmunk storing nuts for the winter.  I'll probably never get around to crocheting all the motifs I have squirreled away, but that's not the point.  The point is that when I see a new one, I must have it for my collection.  (It may be a sickness.  The test results aren't in, yet. . .)

Still, even a motif-lover such as myself knows that there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.  There is such a thing as too much-- especially when it comes to sweaters overgrown with poofy, three-dimensional motifs. 

It looks like someone planted a crochet rose bush, then neglected to prune it for twenty years, resulting in a mishmash of yarn that threatens to eat this poor woman alive.

Again, I generally like floral, dimensional motifs-- but this. . . Ick.

(Also:  How much extra weight do you reckon all those flowers add to the sweater?)
