I really shouldn’t snark too much because I am an affiliate of Leisure Arts, Inc. but sometimes I look at vintage patterns and wonder just WTF people were thinking.

Now take the pictured vintage sweater set pattern as an example. The sweaters or vests individually would not be that awful- but together? Did I mention that the stuff is made from worsted weight yarn? Hi, it’s winter and you feel bulky enough as it is but to wear TWO worsted weight cabled or crocheted items together? Maybe if you were trying to save money on heating…

(and only about another 30 Leisure Arts, Inc. pamphlets to go through as I’m finally getting around to updating my Ravelry library)
