The Knitting Fiend

Designer A, “What’s a Pearly King?” Designer B? “A what? “

Designer A, “Desperate Yarn company wants us to design a ‘Pearly King Costume’ for a doll.” Designer B, “Oh.”

Designer A pulls “Costumes of the World” off the shelf. ” A Pearly King is a ‘costermonger’. . . [blah, blah, blah ] . . . , a street vendor who sells fruits and vegetables from a barrow.” Designer B raises eyebrow.

Designer A, “. . . Their ornate costumes of black velvet are entirely covered with pearl buttons.”
Designer B, “Well, there you go!”

Designer A, “Look at the summer top I designed!” Designer B, “Hmmm… It’s, well, you know, nice.”

Designer A, “What’s wrong with nice?” Designer B, “Nothing. Nothing is wrong with nice.”

Designer A frowns. Walks around muttering… Suddenly, she spots a fuzzy knit snake and drapes it across the neckline. “There! Now it’s not nice!”
