Knitting Pattern Posers

I love old knitting patterns - especially the poses and expressions of the models.

 
How very haughty!

 
Interesting couples.  Some are just so funny.

 
Threesomes?!

 
 
I'll leave you to add your own caption to this one!
 
Love, Liz

It wasn't until I got to the fourth picture that I realised you had added the captions - I thought they were some strange seventies marketing campaigns! Love these pictures x Jane

Haha, they're all a bit nudge nudge!

You've cheered me up, thanks Liz xxx

Just catching up! Brill photos, I've got some too, hilarious! I love the little table you've painted! :) x

So funny. Whenever someone compliments me on an outfit I'll go into a 60's/70's pose...fake surprise, point at sky, sassy hands on hips...most people think I'm nuts. I think I'm hysterical. The last caption "My hair is better than your hair."

One of the things I love about my vintage patterns are the poees, they are so cheesy

gilly said...

Tee hee - your captions gave me a good giggle. They do seem to take it all very seriously, don't they!

Yeah, the poses are great!
The last one... I thought about: 'See, with this wig he thinks I am a woman' ;-)

I have a couple of great ones, I must dig them out. Who knew 'double knitting' was an euphemism?

Missing caption?
If he doesn't unhand me I'll land him a fourpenny one!

Curtise said...

Brilliant, aren't they? I pick up old patterns in charity shops - can't knit, I use them to make birthday cards with my own hilarious captions, usually featuring the name of the recipient and usually highly vulgar... xxxx

I have some older ones (B&W) and they're just as bad. All the men with vests are in horse riding gear, or something outdoorsy, with their male friends. As a kid I was so curious about the lovely poised feet from the sock patterns. And everyone was just so gosh darned beautiful and happy!! This was a great post. Wendy

Rachael said...

Haha your captions are great!

Miss Simmonds Says said...

I love your captions! The poses on these old patterns are always funny. I like it when they grin inanely into the distance. That last one looks like the woman's being restrained a bit! xxx

Sarah said...

Lizzi said...

I knitted that cardigan on the second pattern! I wore it for ages.
