1. I’ve only ever seen old copies. I think I either picked them up at garage sales or at a thrift shop. Thankfully not all the patterns were quite so … ummm.. bright. hehe

2. I’m pretty sure McCall’s magazine itself went out of business or morphed into another publication some time ago, taking the craft magazine along with it. Too bad because I always enjoyed the craft one.

3. I had some I bought and saved, though I pitched most when I moved. It turned out my mom’s friends kept many of theirs, so I have quite a batch. I do get a kick out of their design choices!

4. Please tell me that’s not Notre Dame flanking the Eiffel Tower! Why someone would design something as hideous as this is a bigger mystery than The Da Vinci Code…

5. The big one to the right doesn’t look like Notre Dame. It’s orange; maybe it’s Le Musee de L’Orangerie? I think I see something purplish next to to that.

   It’s definitely odd. It makes me want to design a big Chicago sweater with a strangely colored Sears Tower next to some blazing Ferris wheel and “the bean” in some sort of odd yarn.
