As the title of this blog suggests, we are all about candle making and everything related to it. However, we couldn’t help but be intrigued by this list of 39 bizarre and creepy pieces of furniture that we stumbled upon. We know what you might be thinking – what does this have to do with candle making? Well, nothing really. But we just had to share it with you because it’s just too weird and wonderful not to.

From a chair made out of human hair to a sofa that resembles a giant human mouth, these pieces of furniture are definitely not for the faint-hearted. But if you’re the type of person who enjoys the strange and unusual, then you’re going to love this collection. Some of them might even inspire you to create a candle collection that complements their quirky and macabre aesthetic.

But we have to warn you, some of these pieces might give you nightmares. They’re that scary. And if you’re not into creepy things, you might want to skip this one. But for those who are intrigued by the weird and wonderful, we invite you to take a look at this list and let us know which one is your favorite.

While we are a blog focused on candle making and related topics, we can’t deny our fascination with unique and strange designs in all areas of life. Perhaps we should consider starting a blog that explores weird and outlandish ideas that push the boundaries of creativity and design. But for now, we hope you enjoy this roundup of spine-chilling furniture and perhaps find inspiration for your own unique creations.

39 of the most scariest and weird pieces of furniture. Would you have them in your house? Which one?

If you want to feel personally attacked by a collection of knitting and crochet patterns as I was, check out the “90s Mod Inspired” pattern lookbook from Yarnspirations.

It’s actually a great collection of patterns for folks who want to stitch up that Y2K look again (or for the first time). There’s an oversized, striped grandpa cardigan! A (crocheted) plaid messenger bag! A boxy argyle vest, and a rolled hem sweater the likes of which I bought in a store in the ’90s and knit a replica of later.

There’s also a section of “Prep School” patterns (think “Clueless,” they’re even called things like “As if” and “Betty”) including a granny square tie and crocheted wrap skirt, and a knit cabled pullover, beret and cardigan with blocky stripes. Other sections include casual collegiate, punk and mod, and academia.

Some of the patterns repeat among the sections but there’s a nice selection for people who want a little throwback for their back to school and fall wardrobes.

Since I had this sweater, we’ll take a closer look at the Caron Cropped Stripy Sweater. The one I knit from a pattern of my own devising in the mid ’00s was tonal blues, but this one calls for two colorways of Colorama Haze, a fuzzy self-striping worsted weight yarn.

The pattern comes in six sizes, with chest measurements ranging from 39 to 60 inches (that’s 99 to 152.5 cm). Clearly that’s a lot of ease at the lower sizes, since the smallest size is meant to fit an actual chest measurement from 28-34 inches, or 71-86.5 cm.

The sweater is a modified drop shoulder worked flat in pieces and seamed. That means the stripes probably won’t match around the body but it’s still a classic look. This one does have ribbing at the neckline, where the original sweater I owned and my re-creation had rolled hems throughout, but you can do it either way depending on your preference.

Do any of these projects remind you of clothes you might have worn or knit in the past? I’d love to hear about it!
