hello, 1991

I got this from Classic Elite today in my inbox:

I know the yarn is "Florida themed" but this is a little "Golden Girls?"

An ad for their new line of yarns, Sanibel. The yarn looks great, but the associated patterns? Hello, 1991...am I right? Now, I will admit, that with the new creative leadership at the helm, I've been staunchy shying away from CE designs, but I do still love their yarn. And, one of the patterns is cute, but the yarn takes away from the cuteness!  

cute, right? In a solid color, this would be adorable. 

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really hoping that we see something better for Fall 2012.
