The Return of Pattern Monday! 70s Detective Special

I feel I should apologise for being lax with Pattern Monday. When I started it last year, I had loads of patterns in my collection to use. As time went on, I was also sent patterns and images of patterns and links to websites (for this - thank you!). However my image stash has been dwindling and I dropped from every week to every other week to....nothing since August.

My Current Husband commented that I would be disappointing my readers and if any of you have been missing the weekly feature, I apologise. I was also feeling the pressure of adding a caption to each one - sometimes as amazingly terrible as some pattern pictures are, I couldn't always find the right caption - I know, I know, poor me,  my life is very hard.

But then! A comment from a reader (EWeber) pointed me in the direction of some more images and I was hooked once more. And so, the feature returns and I hope to do it every other Monday. I might not always feature a caption but please feel free to suggest one in the comments.

In the meantime, check out some pictures from this pattern book:

This is the second time I have featured a Spinnerin pattern booklet and they go to a real effort with their photos. This one seems to be inspired by a pair of detectives in 1970s New York City

Running!  (or rather, they look like they are jogging rather than trying to catch criminals)

More running!

Standing still. Perhaps rather conspicuously observing some criminal behaviour

Just looking cool

Er, dancing?

 And the best - larking around behind a yellow cab
