Chevron and on and on.

Despite what some people may think, the chevron ‘trend’ has actually been around for a long time.  Proof can be found in the blanket department of any thrift store, where chevron crocheted afghans plentifully abound.  This always makes me sad because hey, someone MADE those!  With only their two little hands!  But for whatever reason, they are often considered uncool or unwanted and unceremoniously dumped at the thrift store by their unknowing owners. Luckily, people like Rita recognize their awesomeness, and use them to do fun things, like reupholstering an old bench for a super unique look.
