Berroco Alpaca Footsie Pillow
January 25th, 2008
Learned a valuable lesson this weekend by discovering that alpaca rugs should not be washed in the washing machine, but at least I stumbled upon this “gem” in the meantime.
Forget the fact that Berroco’s footsie pillow knitting pattern is heavily on the ugly side. But why do they suggest using alpaca yarn, of all things? I guess they, too, figure the only way they’re going to get revenue from releasing this free pattern is to suggest expensive materials.
Not to mention that it would be a safety hazard in an emergency. I can hear the 911 call now from some ancient tottering grandmother out there: “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!!” “Stay calm, Ma’am. Are you by any chance wearing a footsie pillow? If so, please remove your feet before attempting to stand up.”
