Pattern Monday #26 The Return of the Witches of Eastwick

So, you may remember the appearance of these ladies in Pattern Monday back in January this year:



Don't they just remind you of The Witches of Eastwick?


Now, can you imagine how delighted I was to find this in a charity shop:

It's the next pattern in the series! Bet you didn't think that hair could get any bigger, eh? Such is their devotion to one-colour dressing that they are even wearing grey tights.


Bravo ladies. Seriously, Bravo.

    For some reason, my first thought here was less on the crazy-hair-and-monochrome tip and more along the lines of trying to imagine living in a world in which I needed that many grey sweaters.

      I know - can you imagine how depressing it would be to knit one of those outfits?!

    Urrghhh - patterns like these give knitting a bad name, whilst hairstyles like these gave the 80s a bad name!

    OH MY GOD, THE HAIR!! *dies of awesomeness*

    I love it when things are so ugly they are good. And this is it.

    Hey, porridge is not just for breakfast, you could knit it into things in the 80's ;-) And it made an excellent hair cement too!

    Hehehehe! This is fabulous! Do you think the first pattern sold so well they released a second, what a disturbing thought! Oh and just imagine having to knit all that grey for the pattern! Gosh that would put you off knitting for life!

    Wow that is quite a find! Just goes to show there are some styles that will never come back in fashion (we hope anyway!). Thanks for making me laugh.

    OMG I laughed so hard at this - not just the hair but that hideous grey wool! ;)
