The Knitting Fiend

Designer A: “McCalls Needlework and Crafts says they want to feature color in their next issue!” Designer B,”Let’s give them pink and purple!”

Designer A: “No, lots of color!” Designer B, “Add green and blue?”

Designer A: “More color!”

Designer B gets some crayons and makes big blobs of color, “Look, I worked in red and black!”

Designer A: “Amazing!”

This knit delight appeared in a 1989 issue of McCalls Needlework and Craft; I believe it belongs in their “baggy, unflattering intarsia sweater” series. Wearing it with zebra striped pants was an interesting style choice.
