I have to laugh at this...

Let me preface by saying that some of you may hate me, but I do NOT care for the Missoni craze that everyone seems to be wrapped up in.  So, when I saw this post

I had to chuckle.  Um...before Missoni, wouldn't they just have called this an out of date ripple afghan?

  • Bahaha! I completely agree...I don't get it. But I also haven't bought into the whole chevron craze. NMS at all, but to each his own! :)

  • LOL! We were just at Target this morning and there were still a ton of the Missoni on their racks. I freaking LOVE knits- I would live in sweaters if it wouldn't spell my death 90% of the year down here. But, holy fug. I am so not a fan- and apparently, not many of my neighbors are, either!

     

  • LOL! I just got a MyPoints email about the Missoni collection & it took forever to just open the web site in my browser.  THEN, my browser totally crashed.  Target killed my Internet Explorer.

    I love the chevron craze, but the Missoni thing, eh.

  • I like chevron afghans. I wore some Missoni is high school. So for me its been there done that. I won't go out my way to buy anything from Target ever and never for full price. LOL

    ( I'm not an old lady per say I'm 29) :P

  • We were at Target yesterday and saw some of the Missoni stuff. I just thought, "This shut down Target.com for a day? Why?"  Before that my response was, "What's Missoni?" Apparently my rural Missouri upbringing occurred under a rock.

  • My DP works at Target and let me tell you, the Missoni madness was nuts.

     

    I do not get it at all.

  • I'm not into the chevrons either. My friend said that it's great if you love looking like Charlie Brown!
    She's crafty - and she's just my type.
  • I don't get it either.  It's ugly.

  • Apparently it isn't popular here in the wild west, because our Target had everything in stock today and not a soul looking at it mid day on a Saturday.

  • I don't hate you....but I do love some, not all things Missoni.

    Some of the stuff for Target looked like Charlie Brown or grandma's afghans, but not all of it.  Some of the stuff that I hated online was much nicer in person, and I found myself liking color combinations that I really hadn't expected to. 

     

    Fwiw, I never would have expected you to be a Missoni fan....it is so not your style.lol   

    On the other hand, some of the decor pieces were exactly what I had been looking for, and some even looked like I had designed them.  My daughter was commenting on the my doodles and designs looking like the things that I bought. lol    I like bold, graphic and fun stuff,  but the stuff that I bought was pretty tame, imo. Stick out tongue
