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 "Karen in MN" ask.me.for.my.email.address wrote in message . net...

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. Gem Like I don't already have more patterns than I'll ever use. ;o) "Karen in MN" ask.me.for.my.email.address wrote in message . net...

ask.me.for.my.email.address spewed forth : 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! +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

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