Got this strange knitting pattern leaflet in the charity shop. I say strange, because ... well, you'll see why! It contains patterns "inspired" by different countries.
Ireland ... of course! |
Some are a bit obscure ...
Well, apart from the hat ... |
Some are a bit strange! Loving his big ... cheese!
Some are weird ...
Koala makes it Australian - right? |
Looks totally p....d off!
Made me chuckle anyway!
Looking forward to seeing what you have discovered this week over at Flea Market Finds!
Love, Liz

I've been collecting knitting patterns to make greetings cards with. Very jealous of your find, I can just imagine the photographer's assistant rushing around frantically trying to find a tenuous Australian link. "This koala will have to do".
These are priceless, Liz! The chap in the Canadian inspired sweater looks as though someone just ran into his bumper!

Very strange! (And what's stranger still is that Blogger is letting me comment on your blog again - it still often won't let me!) As for the guy in the moose cardi, he really does look like he's gritting his teeth - 'I thought I'd seen the last of the novelty knits when I was ten!'

Didn't you know we ALL wear jumpers like that in Australia Liz?

Well there’s a bit of a poncho look to the first one and the Ozzie one does have (kangaroo) pockets! Tenuous to say the least.
I really like the look of that book Liz. Did they have a balaclava and mittens for the UK?
