I already had an issue of McCalls Needlework & Craft before I found the great stash at the rummage sale so I was familiar with its utter kitschy-ness but thought I'd share.
Dig those orange and pink earrings she's wearing and that oh so chic tote bag!
I think I might actually attempt to make one of these embroidered pictures, though. I think they're kind of cute...and a little creepy.
I also picked up some crochet pamphlets...
And, ah, remember the days when the phrase "politically correct" didn't exist?
A couple of the projects in this book actually border on amigurumi (there's an elephant I'm going to attempt) but most of them are braided and bundled yarn like the, ahem, "natives" in the above photo.
Oh - I forgot to relay this little funny tidbit. The rummage sale was actually at a church so imagine my delight and surprise when I found a copy Rosemary's Baby and a book by Alfred Kinsey... you know, the Kinsey who founded the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. I almost bought them just because. :-)
