Funny the hoodie for the WWII troops is there. Cast On has a blurb in their latest issue about banding together and knitting up a bunch for our guys in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only way I could get my own husband to wear one of those is to wait until he’s asleep.

I still have the booklet for the granny-square crochet tops at the top of the page – i bought it when it came out. And, yes, i wore pants as short as those on Kitschy Stitches, Vol. II, although mine were of pale lavender brushed denim, not knit or crocheted. Hey, quitcher laughing…

Whoo boy, these bring back memories. My mother was into knitting big time. I had a vest from the first picture and a sweater from the second picture (though mine had poodles on it) given to me on my birthday. I also had a gold fringed vest (much like the one pictured halfway down the page) and my mother had a matching one too. Yikes, does this date me???

These pictures are hilarious and just be glad you didn’t have to wear any of them!

Hi,

I’m recovering from pneumonia, and your comments and pictures improved my mood immeasurably!

I really can’t figure out which outfits are the worst. They’re all so…so very…well, words escape me1 Horrible just doesn’t cover it, nor does vile, or hideous, or the rest of the thesaurus. Hmmm…my favorite must be the one with the solid sweater with a striped V shaped insertion and matching beanie. But, it’s really hard to choose.

Thanks!

thank you! That was the best “yoga laugh” I have had in months! I agree with the comment about sending this to anyone who disparages my knitting – sort of: “well, I ‘could’ be making ‘this’ for you!” – keep them coming, girl! These were fabulous!

here in brisbane, i found a book called “wit knits” – oh slay me with punnery- that was a frightening book of 80s knits modeled by british comedians. the sweaters were big, the colors bold, the designs? they’d make 80s hair seem subtle. i recommend it to anyone who likes those old knitting books just for the models. i do. craft models are the misunderstood demographic of the g00se eggs. i think you need this book.
