Pattern Monday #8

This girl's face is positively aglow with the joint thrill of knitwear modelling and pretending to be learning something. Oh. Hang on...

    Oh my! That is a window into a different time. Could you imagine how dirty and nasty that sweater got?! My nephew/niece's uniforms are school polo shirts and shorts and those get way dirty in just one day - not even taking the heatstroke they'd get in Los Angeles wearing a wool sweater on the playground.

    I wonder what the other pictures looked like for this one to be the winner in the bunch! Thanks for the giggle.

    Oh crikey. That takes me back to my school days .... my school jumpers at one time were even more odd, being machine knitted .....

    How cute is that little guy with his plaid pants and red tie/grey sweater combo? He looks like a living Norman Rockwell painting!

    It kinda looks like they're playing Mad Men and he's ordering her around, as she's his secretary. Clearly she hates the role, and he's loving it.

    My Mum knitted my school jumpers for years and they looked just like these! Regulation grey too!

    I always traul through the old knitting/sewing pattern box in charity shops, I've found some absolute corkers! Kids' and men's pictures are often the funniest. I have framed them, with added apposite captions/speech bubbles and given them to friends as presents, they always go down well.
    Love Curtise xx

    Oh dear... We did not have uniforms in France so it is a strange concept... I love the boy's pose though!
