Big, blazing bright blocks
become an unshaped sweater.
Would you have worn it?
The pattern for the colorful block sweater above left was published in the Spring-Summer 1959 issue of McCall’s Needlework and Craft. Coincidentally, I was born in April, 1959.
Maybe that explains why I would have worn this? Heck, if my mom had knit it and saved it, I might have pilfered it from her closet. (Sadly for current sartorial needs, Mom was living in El Salvador where she had no need for heavy hand knit sweater jackets.)
Still, I think my theory that I long for patterns published in the month of my birth is flawed. The sweaters shown to the right appeared on the facing pages. I’m sure there are knitters who love them; I have no desire to knit them!
