I wove you, metafilter

November 2, 2009 3:44 PM

Does anyone remember a website a few years back that would post scans of crafts and recipe books from the 50's-70's for the sole purpose of making fun of them for being horrible? I think it had "Lavender" in the name somewhere? It might be still going. It was a huge site with a lot of different sections of content and all of it was really funny.

There's just too much out there for "70s crafts snark" to be a useful thing to google.
One of the images was a bizarre monster thing that said "I wove you!"

OK, I was wrong, the image I was looking for was actually at Cate's Garage. Thanks for your help!

I see you've found your answer, but after you're through poking through Cate's Garage, check out the weight watcher's recipe cards on Candyboots.
