sorry, I don’t have a blog yet, but just wanted to say that sometime in the middle 1960′s my best friend and I were obsessed with getting one of those darn monkeys, we went door to door offering to do any chore, vaccuuming, weeding, etc. Never got more that about $1.50. Still want that monkey.

Thanks for all the great feedback! I’m glad there’s someone else out there who can appreciate my treasure.

mayflwr, the Geisha yarn is fairly soft. Not like “Wow! That’s really soft!” soft. You can tell it’s got acrylic in there. It’s not scratchy, but if you’re sensitive, you might not like it. I haven’t felt Imagine, so I can’t compare.

Amanda, I don’t know if I can share the pattern. I’m looking into it. I found a pattern for a similar hat online, try Googling “”Beer can hat” crochet”. I’ll let you know what I find out about sharing an out-of-print pattern.

I just saw the infamous “wearable beer cans” post. Do they have the patterns in it? I’m a college student–I must have at least that purse! (Can I bribe you into violoating copyright laws and copying those patterns for me?)

WOW! what finds!!!

Is that yarn from elann soft? I checked it out and really want to get some! LionBrand’s Imagine has a similar fiber content (i think), but is reallly itchy against skin (well to me) please tell me it’s soft, cushy and fabulous!

You rock! How lucky can you get. I love the old Vogue Knitting mags. Now you can knit yourself a ski outfit!

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow…where are you to find all these fabulous yard sales? And to think, I was watching football when I could have been spending money!

The monkey ad is hilarious. I’ve seen similar ones from that time period, and it’s always the “live delivery guaranteed” that kills me.

Wow! Great finds! Lucky you! I enjoyed your story about your parents and the yard sales; we love teasing my mom in my family, too, and I love being an instigator.

The pet monkey ad is crazy! Especially the part about “almost human” and “live delivery guaranteed.” Wow.

Oh, you lucky girl! I’m still waiting to hit the jackpot at a yard sale, or even a thrift store. Maybe one day…
