What’s The Purpose…
Of the twisted pieces of crap that they stuck all over this otherwise good sweater? And why are there cheddar colored ones? MAYBE, MAYBE the pink…I mean they’re weird, but for 1984 pink and purple…ok. But pink purple, and Kraft Singles Slices?
Why for?

Not only does the (cute) model look like my youngest sister. All the way down to the “cheap bang trim done by mom with the cheapest pair of scissors in the house haircut” but lord almighty! That looks like something my mother would have dared to make and try to foist on one of us unsuspecting children. Argh! The memories! NOOOOOOOOOO.
Question: Why do all these old 80’s pictures look skewed? Are they stretched or something? The heads look “normal” but the bodies look Hu-freaking-normus. <>

“MOMMEEEEEEE!! Everyone keeps trying to pull my swirlies off my new sweater and *gasp* *sniffle* Jacob said he was gonna eat my sweater with crackers and the teacher said I had to take it off because there’s no food in class! Make them stop, Mommy!”

And how soon would the child wearing this sweater, have all the twirlies stretched to become cheddar and pink droops! I can see her in school systematically pulling on them. :)samm

AJ, it could be because my scanner is broken, and I take pictures of the patterns with my camera, so the angle isnt perfect. But Ill try harder next time for you
You are right though.

People say that you just need to wait long enough, and everything eventually comes back into fashion. When this happens for the godawful fug of the 80s, shoot me.

I’ve noticed that a lot of sweater designers seem to simply… run out of ideas. So they take a plain, boring sweater pattern and add the most creative (read: unwearably stupid) decorations they can think of to it.

This is just horrible

The only explanation I can come up with is the designer wanted a cabled effect without actually cabling. And seeing as how cabling isn’t difficult, uh, that’s no excuse. I wonder what it feels like to be the designer of such hideousness twenty years later. By which I mean strictly wonder; I hope never to be able to empathize with that.
