Default FUNNY knitting blog!

For those of you that get a kick as I do of the knitting patterns from the
old magazines (remember those scary ski-hats that someone here posted a link
to???), I came across a blog last night that actually had me crying from
laughing so hard.

http://yarnpants.blogspot.com/2004/09/new-feature.html

Off the right is the index for five volumes of the "Museum of Kitschy
Stitches". The link above is the intro and Volume 1

I was crying by Volume 2 ("You Knit for your Mama With Those Needles") and
running for the bathroom by Volume 3 ("Emasculation Nation: Menswear that
makes Men Swear"). After that, I was completely out of control.

I wonder if twenty years from now, people will be looking at the 2005 issues
of Knitters and Vogue Knitting and asking "What were they thinking???"

Karen, thanks for the sprint down memory lane! I remember receiving a vest
made out of cans like those hats when I was a child. Kimela

Thank you for sharing! Funny write-ups... but I have to admit (do I hang my
head now?) that I kind of liked *some* of those patterns... the toys, wreath
and fake plant, NOT the clothes. I wouldn't mind finding a pattern for the
things I did like... but since they're from really old books I likely never
will.

Like I don't already have more patterns than I'll ever use. ;o)

Bahahaha! We caught part of a Doris Day bio on one of the cable
channels last weekend - in one shot Doris was shown wearing this HUGE,
absolutely HORRID excuse for a golf cap. You remember the ones from
the 70s, they were like berets on a pure lard diet! It had a little
bill, then this mushroom of a hat above it with a huge button on top.
Crochet, of course, in an obnoxious coral pink.

DH thinks those will sell like hotcakes if I'll make 'em. I'm afraid
to even go looking for a pattern!

You may not have to look very far, I remember my mother making those, and
she just might still have said patt.

The father of a schoolmate of mine would definitely wear something like
that. He is the golfer you see out on the course with the plaid (bright
colours) pants on... ummm what are they called? ... plus fours? And he
always matches them up with brightly coloured shirts as well. I can
definitely see him in one of those hats. If you have (or can direct me to)
the pattern Noreen, I know he'd get a kick out of those hats. LOL
