Knitting Guides
These images are from a stack of knitting guides that span about 20-odd years that I bought at a garage sale. The women who sold them to me said that it was nice to see young people taking an interest in doing things like knitting. I felt pretty guilty telling her that I just liked the pictures, so I also bought a calligraphy set from her and feigned that I really was stoked to learn how to calligraphy-up all those letters I mail people.
Please enjoy:
Dear god, look at those TEETH! Actually, in the black and white photo you can tell the poor child mouth doesn’t really look that piranha-like.
I’m not kidding you when I say those blue and white booties may the sexiest article of clothing I have ever seen. They’re freakin’ hot.
It seems that the “Ok, you guys, put a hand on a shoulder and look over here like something is happening” photo was very popular in the early 60’s.
On a ten-point scale of coolness, this guy registers a “fuck you – you can’t put a number on my coolness.”
That's right - drink it in ladies.
In this day in age, I think we’re too quick to apply Freudian readings to things, and I think, ultimately, this is an innocent picture. But that doesn’t mean I don’t find it funny. And is that his junk?
My friend, Julie McBride, was VITAL to the redesign. She put in long hours and was extremely patient in coding the layout for me. Please check out her site.
