They aren't that bad!!
The horrors that my teacher would knit and wear to school, would give you nightmares. And no, I don't mean jumpers (though she knitted those too). She knitted her own skirts and trousers, the colours didn't work and it looked horribly itchy, always put my teeth on edge. She was always going on about making her own clothes, which OK people did more then than now, but, yeh. Scary.
Never seen knitted skirts or trousers since.
