Here's one more accessory I advise you to avoid:
Hats with built-in wisps of grey hair-- like the hair you'd expect to see on some horror movie version of a frail, elderly woman.
(Take it or leave it, of course. It's your life.)

"NO to smoking!"
I sincerely applaud parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, etc. who encourage the young people in their lives to cultivate healthy habits. "Just say no" and all that stuff? Yes, do all you can to convince them to eschew illegal drugs, smoking, drinking, and so forth.
Just... Do you really think it's necessary to make and wear an anti-smoking sweater?
Unless you travel around the country talking to kids about the evils of smoking, I can't imagine many occasions that call for a "NO TO SMOKING!"-themed sweater... but maybe I'm just not going to the right places.

Dun-Dun-DUNNNNN!
This baby has obviously taken acting/modeling lessons from the famous (infamous?) "Dramatic Gopher".
Child Models
"Just look at the camera and smile when they tell you to, Sammy. Try not to worry; it'll be over soon."
(Is it just me? Those poor kids look kind of uncomfortable...)

Elegance
If you liked the crochet needle necklace featured on Yarn Yuck last month, but want something a little more understated, these earrings are for you:
Ooh. Aah.
See, they use metal needles. So much classier than those brightly colored plastic ones! Now, these would be perfect for your wedding day or a night at that fancy-schmancy French restaurant.
I still think these needle-based jewelry projects just stink of desperation.
"We already offer eleventy-billion free patterns for scarves, hats, and every conceivable use for eyelash yarn... What else can we entice people make with our products?"
"Well, Bob, I've always thought that our darning needles sales were deplorably low. If we could just think of some way to get people to buy more of those..."
