Such fun! I’m old enough to have some of the patterns from the same time period…. Might have to dig some of them out for a good laugh here in the studio!

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! What were they thinking back then? And what are we thinking now? I’m afraid to look.

Now I’m just tempted to stop knitting. I hereby swear to never knit for my husband and to consult others before I knit for them.

It kind of looks like Smilin’ Bob from the Enzyte commercials has a lot of relatives. It totally explains what happened to him.

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!
