Okay guys I needed to do something different I want to be excited about the posts instead of oh I have to put it up….so I looked and I had a vintage crochet and knit leaflet. So I picked one of the patterns and I’ll share a part each week! In case your curious it looks like this leaflet came out in 1969. ** Another edit lol…one hint it’s something you wear**
**Edit I found a yarn I plan on using…after googling the other yarn(not to much help btw) I found a thinner yarn with a metallic thread through it…I’m changingbout the gold for green and the silver for a goldish color(sounds crazy but it’s the amount of yarn I found so I had to make it work lol)
These were $1 each at my crafts store(a.c.moore) they’re 3 ply and 1.7 oz**
