Yarnspirations is offering a super-duper opportunity to crack open the archives for one of their older pattern books that predates the internet.

For the younger generation, we didn't have the internet to get the patterns. If the store didn't carry the books or yarn, we didn't have access. Sounds prehistoric, eh! Most of us were being chased around by dinosaurs in jeeps!

This is the Retro Revival Crochet and Knit Collection. It wasn't vintage back then, but definitely is today.

You can request a copy to be sent digitally to your email.

I'm interested in one of the vintage pillows, the Envelope Pillow, since I haven't worked that crochet style before. I'm considering my Red Heart Super Saver Craft Kit to hit the colour schemes of today's trend. The pillow pattern is for 16" pillow forms.

You may find other delights that hit your fancy. If I recall, we had an attitude that made us look older than we were by today's standards. Don't even get me started on the senior discounts I have started getting. Even being asked if I am a senior is a punch in the throat.
