I like the knit-it-yourself KKK hood :-/
jesus christ this is freaking me out
im gonna have nightmares tonite
The bottom left one looks like a cross between the Tinman and a Klansmen. Either way, I think I just soiled myself…
I think this picture just shut down my brain for a while.
It’s the Freddy Kruger winter collection!
I almost think this belongs on UNRELATED lol, like, WTF? As a Canadian though: I bet those are pretty warm TOUQUES!
This is truly frightening.
It’s so cold here in Finland now that those could be needed D:
This isn’t a catalog, it’s a knitting pattern. You can tell by the black text at the top of the image. The language refers to knitting techniques, and I’m sorry to say that the designer, Meg Swansen, is a fairly well known knitter.
Yikes.
My eyes have seen the glory of the trampling at the zoo…
The white one makes me want to make a joke about Klan skiers, but really, there’s nothing funny about the KKK.
Oh, sure there is. Keep in mind the mental capacity of most of these people.
When I lived in Alabama in the 1980′s, the local Klan, as part of an initiation, told a potential new member to stand, alone and in full Klan regalia, on a corner in a black neighborhood for an hour. I guess that they thought that the majesty and fearsome reputation of the Klan would be all that would be needed to protect the guy.
Of course he was on his way to the emergency room within a few minutes.
That was hilarious.
Regretsy.
Exactly. A challenge on there yet.
Yup… I remember seeing them on the Regretsy website.
If I remember correctly they were made and sold to raise money for a kid in the hospital. They are supposed to look that bad.
These inspired the Regretsy, erm, *campaign* to raise money for a little boy with leukemia. Here is the link:

This wasn’t the actual regresty campaign, it was just the inspiration. But yeah, seen i before :l
Precisely.
I do like the tall one with the bowler hat knitted into his.
GAGA family reunion?
The family that robs banks together stays together.
The original blog that posted this scanned image is here – http://anywhoidigress.com/2010/08/04/knitmare/.
You can download the knitting pattern if you need one of your very own
Apparently you can bake a hell of an apple pie while wearing one!
I’m not sure there’s apple in that pie…drifters, hitchikers, someone who accidentally ended up in their backyard by mistake sure but apples, no.
Actually your theory makes sense.. Because an apple pie? Really? Thats not related at all.
Slipknot alternative masks.
you know,when it gets cold on stage
designer bankrobber gear
frightening- until I saw the kid pokin’ the pie!!! lmao!!!!
Magnets how do they work??
These look like they came from a “Knit Your Own Bondage Gear” kit.
The Gimp is in that pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tasty Gimp.
That’s just scary.
my cat just jumped on my lap, took one look at that pic, flooffed up and ran away!! (proof of their superior intelligence….)
I don’t know why, but does the dad look like Chevy Chase to anyone else?
hey, I know that guy!
But winter IS hell.
You know, this is absolutely terrifying. I mean, it’s an instruction book for making these monstrosities. But then we have’em on people in nice little nerd clothes. Words have now failed me.
Like the KKK anecdote, though.
These make the Slipknot masks look cute.
I’m scared.
these remind me of slipknot masks
They look like cenobites from Hellraiser
It’s like the Victor von Doom family Christmas photo. All KKK similarities aside on the one mask, these remind me completely of Doc Doom
I rilly like the bowler hat effect on Poppa’s. And, oh, yes, little Poppette’s did make me wonder if there was a wooden cross somewhere out of sight, with a can of lighter fluid ready to go.
I’ve seen a few noses that could use a double-decrease, too.
I need a drink.
Some may think that the kid looks like a KKK member, but this is obviously Candlejack’s family portr-
“The scariest thing in the world….is when all of the air turns to wood.”
Definitely Candlejack.
These patterns came out 15 years before Candlejack existed.
Slipknot, the twilight years.
more like when they’re retired
Would these be legal in France?
Has no one else noticed the white-eyed kid in the gray hat? UM….DEMONIC.
Costume contacts would be great with these…

I didn’t immediately think KKK actually, it reminded me first of the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.
I thought it looked like a pear.
What are those insane words top left?
Anyone know if that’s knitting terminology?
Is this an article teaching us how to make these?
I Do Not want to make these!
Yes, it is in fact knitting. I know all those techniques. I will NOT be making these.
Old image is old.
You guys should check out Regretsy, these masks are a meme there. They even sold dozens to raise money for a sick child.
actually that would be nice because its -30*c here right now.
What really scares me is that this is designed by Meg Swansen (you can see her name on it). I’m a knitter, so I know that not only is Meg a well-known designer, but her mother, Elizabeth Zimmermann, is pretty much the patron saint of knitting and even had her obit in the NY Times (a first for a knitter!). I am shocked and appalled. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at any of Meg’s patterns in the same way!
Yes, my first thought was MEG SWANSEN- Meg Swansen designed this?
Puts a whole new perspective on the Zimmerman heritage.
I kind of want to knit these.
ku-klux-klan + slipknot = snow fooling
I keep seeing Sqweegel. XD
whats with the kkk cap?
This was an article from Threads magazine back when they included knitting patterns. As I recall, it got some negative comments in the letter section of the next issue.
sorry heath ledger died. no sequel.
Slipknot, circa 1980
The duet they did with Karen Carpenter that year went to #12 on the pop charts
yes the knitter has to comment. I would so make the white one with a longer top so it wouldn’t look so Klan-y. Or the grey one but make the top look more dread lock-y. But the mom’s hat is just not right and the dad’s mask looks like what they give burn patients to wear.
If you just moved in somewhere, and this family brought you a ‘Welcome to the Neighborhood’ pie, tell me you wouldn’t move again immediately.
I nearly pissed my pants looking at the regretsy website. Love it!
Protip: Stop stealing your posts and website ideas from other websites. You will never be as funny, and everybody sees what you did there. If you don’t have any original ideas, then GTFO.
the family who is creepy together stays together… in your nightmares
any1 else see the kid about to poke the pie?
Yes!! Yes! WHY is he touching the piiiiiieeee!?
…and this directly in from the KKK catalog; bring your lynchings year round
They’re for Hallowe’en in Minnesota! That’s the Tin Man, I think.
Also excellent for going to swastika burnings with the family.
The pie looks like it was knitted too xD
Lol Delocated.
what the f*** is that kid on the left doing to the pie? I can only imagine the photoshoot
Director: “Stick your finger in the pie to look more cute!”
Kid: “The pie is fake though…”
Director: Well just touch it then”
at least with one of these youll never get to kkkold
Ahahahahahahahhahaha.. I see what you did there :-X
Oh come on guys this is totally that family that was horrifical burned in that fire last year… The masks are for our benefit…
Honestly tho, out of all four samples here.. They pick the white one to demonstrate the pointed-top option….. Coincidence? I think not.
Take your fetish out on the town this winter with a new line of knit gimp masks.
