It Was Years Before Sally Could Even Look At A Sweater Without Bursting Into Tears.
"Little girl, you know why they call this yarn "Red Heart", don't you"? It's named that because factory workers rip out the heart of a tiny baby bunny rabbit and squeeze a drop of baby bunny rabbit blood into each and every batch of yarn. That's what give "Red Heart" it's special sheen.
Now, you tell anyone that I shared this information with you and I swear to God I'll bite that cute little button nose right off your face? You got it, kid?"

Kid looks like she's been asked to be a ringbearer at Willy Wonka's wedding.

Is that... I think it is! It's the transsexual from those other patterns! :o

What a marvellous site! What witty commentary! Love it. That kid is damn scared. Sometimes I think bad knitwear brings out the worst in people ...

when i first glanced at the woman's face, i thought i was looking at a younger glenn close...hmmm, the bunny connection totally makes sense now...

I like the way that the woman's sweater makes her fade into the shadows..the DARK SHADOWS? Hmmmmmm.....

OMG y'all are too funny!!! I wouldn't miss clicking on this site on a daily basis for anything.

Maybe the woman really isn't there. That poor little girl has a serious "I see dead people" look on her face.

The little girl is thinking, "if I make this face, they won't use the picture, and they will get someone else for the job." Unfortunately, she was wrong.

OMG! I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard!!!!!!!!! Poor little girl.

When I saw this rather disturbing ad as I was looking through an old 1975 American Home Crafts magazine (and yes, I was the actual subscriber), I HAD to send it to Mary! This site makes me laugh out loud every day.
