1001 Nightmares - The Worst of Bellydance
The costume for a belly dancer should be exotic. It should enrapture the viewer and frame the dancer as a work of art. It shouldn't make you go "WTFbananas?!?" This blog showcases the costumes that make us all ask "What on earth were they thinking?!"

Yo quiero, Taco Bellydancer?
About Me
- Name: 1001Nightmares
I'm a bellydancer and thus see a lot of bellydance costumes. Now and then I may post some of the really beautiful ones, but mostly I'll be showcasing the ones that make me laugh. Many people will disagree on some of these, and that's great. Tastes differ. If you find your work up here, I'm sorry for the shock, but maybe you can take a little comfort in the fact that your design probably made me laugh for ten solid minutes. The term "fug" is a contraction of "f***in' ugly." It was used extensively by the late blog "You Knit What?!" (which I also laughed long and hard at, being a knitter.)

Hi there! Not a bellydance comment, but I wanted to answer your question about the EZ baby sweater...When I got to the first sleeve, I slid the other stitches for the body to the back of the needle and just knit back and forth in pattern for the sleeve. I haven't gotten to the other sleeve yet, but I'll have to attach more yarn and work that sleeve in pattern, bind off, then attach the yarn again to finish the body. What I probably SHOULD have done was ignore EZ's sleeve instructions, put the sleeve stitches on holders, knit the rest of the body, then go back to finish off the sleeves with dpn's, like you would do with most top-down patterns. Hope this helps!
Hi! Sorry I couldn't respond yesterday. Yes, you've been very helpful! I was thinking there's no way to avoid a 'catch-up bit', in order to keep the pattern on the front, then it dawned on me that even if I knit the left sleeve that way, I'd still have to 'catch-up' the back. Growf! I like your idea better, of picking up the sleeves afterward and knitting them seamlessly. I'll give that a try. Thanks!
