Ugly Vintage Patterns at their Best
Author: fishieWhen I was working at Value Village, I was the bed and bath pricer. This meant I priced bed and bath shit, all the accessories like purses and ties, and… all the craft stuff. So I not only did I get DIBS on the knitting crap… I DECIDED HOW MUCH THEY WOULD COST. I got a 50% discount, so I’d price things in a way so that they’d be JUST BARELY too expensive for somebody to just buy, but with my discount, it would still be really fucking cheap. If I even priced it and put it out on the floor instead of accidentally leaving it in my pocket before I went home.
One day, I found heaven
My heart skipped a beat in the same way it did when I found $90 in a crappy wallet. Could this be? Did I really find the holy grail of ugly vintage knitting patterns? I opened it to the first page, and I realized my dreams had come true:
It was love at first sight. Normally when I find a book or magazine of knitting patterns, I’ll like ONE thing in there. Maybe. But this… The book is FILLED with brilliance. Like…
A beautiful sweater dress
and
KNITTED PANTS AND MATCHING PONCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
