They’re dreaming!

novelty yarn vestDesigner A rips open an envelope and reads aloud,

“Dear Designers,
      We spun boat loads of this lovely yarn but find we are having trouble moving it. Please dream up a cute pattern young knitters will love.
             Sincerely,
             Desperate yarn manufacturer.”

Designer B, “Honey, they’re dreaming.”


This pattern leaflet, originally priced at $4.00, was distributed by Plymouth Yarns; the vest is made from Adriafil Apache. I fished this out of the “take this off our hands for free” bin at Kool Knits.

  1. Remember that Simpsons episode where Mr Burns sang “See my vest! See my vest! Made from real gorilla chest..” Yeah. Reminds me of that. Only a pink gorilla with mange. LOL
