Pictures That Prove The Art Of Crocheting Has Gone Way Too Far

The youth of this world are often villainized as social media-loving, wasteful humans who love fast fashion and hate tradition. But something that is often forgotten is the millennial's love of sites such as Pinterest, where tradition is trendy.

Up-cycling, knitting, and even crocheting have seen a huge resurgence thanks to the internet. Of course, other factors have also played a large part in the popularity of crafts, such as the current economic climate and the world's awareness of the effects technology can have on a person's mental health.

Activities such as crocheting are considered comforting, mindful, and rewarding. Not only that, but it is also a cheap thrill during the more tumultuous financial times. With that in mind, it's no wonder crocheting has become so immensely fashionable.

But as with every trend, there are always those who take things too far - yes, even crocheting.

Once only something your granny would do, crocheting is now a favorite among hispters who are trying to put their own unique spin on the ways of old. And, when I say unique, I mean ridiculous! Take a look yourself...
