Ok, I've been silent for a long time, but I keep thinking of things to post. I just never get around to it, often because of some kind of self-censure: I want to make sure that I've thought about what I'm writing before I publish it and lately I just haven't had time to do that.
But I keep wanting to get something new on this old jalopy.
So here I am, with a new post by way of a confession by way of silliness. Why not. Ok, see, I never write anything about knitting, in part because somehow I originally wanted this to be a very narrowly-focused blog. But that didn't happen, so who cares. And anyhow, I do knit, and I do like to read my way through the great proliferation of smart knitter blogs.
Anyway, I'm late to the party on this one, but do check it out: Stitchy McYarnpants' Museum of Kitschy Stitches. Knitting mistakes of yesteryear! I love it. Especially this entry from last November, which made me laugh out loud--did anyone EVER make those things, let alone WEAR them? Like wrestling masks they look. Only ugly.
NB: at the end of the entry is a snapshot of some poor kid from my original neck of the woods actually wearing one. Yeesh.

I thought the same thing, though we had some knit stuff. But she was always a little more, say, conservative with the things she made. And made us wear. Although I did have a two-piece red polyester pantsuit...

oooouch. bet you were looking sooo cute! ;-) i had my share of that «cute-looking» wear too. combine pastel colors, tons of applications (rings, buttons, fake pockets, you name it), strange collar style and no sleeves, and you'll get an impression.
gladly your mom and mine never met - the combination could have ended in a disastrous childhood for both of us (in terms of fashion, that is).
