Spend your days relaxing poolside or floating around that bactieria frappe at your condo in confidence!

 

Whether emerging from your watery lair or descending into it, now you can count on the moisture-wicking capabilities of Suckcrylic brand fiber! Never again will you suffer the embarrassment of a sopping wet swimming sweater or a soggy hairpiece that leaks.*

 

*Warning: Suckrylic brand fiber makes no claims against Frightened Turtle Syndrome, commonly known as “shrinkage”. In cases of FTS lasting more than four hours, please consult a qualified knitter for a longer sweater.

    I don’t know what’s funnier, the photo or all the comments about the photo. You guys are killing me!

  2. Jon says:

    I actually find this photograph kinda sexy. This makes me question my sanity.

  3. Cathy says:

    Excuse the expression, but how hard up did this ‘model’ have to be to agree to this shoot? Incomprehensible.

  4. “Check out my Roger Moore impersonation!”

  5. kikiluscious says:

    You so totally said, “soggy hairpiece that leaks”. I may never be the same.

  6. Jenn says:

    You know: what we really need here is an “After” shot– once he’s gone swimming…

    And that sweater has stretched down to his knees like a purple fishing net…

  7. Carol says:

    LOL Just what I need, a pool sweater.

  8. BernaWeaves says:

    OH MY GAWD! There is nothing right with this photo. The pose is nothing anyone would do in real life. His hair and swimtrunks are too disturbing. But the sweater? Purple? Female neckline? Formfitting? POOL? This had to have been the ONLY one made.

  9. karrie says:

    And though i can’t explain why, I kinda want it to be my background for a while – i guess to keep my laughing to myself all day. oh, and to cover my tracks.

  10. karrie says:

    This is such a fantastically horrible photo that i want to surreptitously make it the background on the computers of each and every one of my co-workers.

  11. Patricia says:

    If he had a mustache, he’d look like my dear friend Dave in that age/era! What a hoot.

  12. Mary Lee says:

    Hey…isn’t that Roger Moore? Didn’t he model knitwear?! I think he did, but I don’t remember where I saw the photos.

  13. ricki says:

    “knitwear” and “pool” go together about as well as “shag carpeting” and “bathroom.”

  14. Mandy says:

    Oh, wow. You’ve found a real winner this time. I wonder what that guy would do now if you showed him that photo…

  15. Shannon says:

    OK, let’s talk about this guy’s clavicle! the chain going subtley below the lovely knitted object. It’s really not about knitting, it’s about subjugation – the don’t mess with me or I’ll knit you a cover-up (not really) – class of knitting. I’m scared!

  16. April says:

    I came a little too lose to getting sick that time ****shudder****

  17. cyn says:

    i’m sure he was some sort of lady killer, with all that… shrinkage. i mean, the hair alone would’ve driven them wild, but add the pretty purple acrylic?

  18. colleen says:

    I simply do not know where to begin with that photo. The model’s expression, the knit, the pool. No wonder knitting fell out of fashion back then. Those editors must have been on LSD.

  19. Madame D says:

    Wow, I know there’s nothing I like better than to slip on a nice form-fitting sweater when I’m about to jump in and do a few laps-it’s so nice to see that there’s a man out there to be my new swim buddy!

  20. Jenn says:

    Knitwear… pool….
    Knitwear… pool…
    What keen mind determined yarn and chlorine were a suitable match.

    Hope they clean the pool filter regularly.

  21. Kat says:

    His swim trunks are so rad.

  22. Emma says:

    Ew. That’s juts so…ew.

  23. Stephieface says:

    He looks like an 80′s soap opera actor…

    Little man indeed

  24. maryse says:

    *snort*

    oh man, that one is really bad. i’m a little sad for the guy.
