Today's Fashionable Friday is brought to you by 'Wit Knits', circa 1985.
This fantastically bad knitwear book from the mid 80s came in to my possession just this morning - I found it at a local church op shop for one whole dollar. It reminded me so much of the 'Twisties' jumper from my childhood - the pattern was given away as part of a promotion for the snack food. Sadly, there are people who would wear some of these designs today, but to be honest, I took it home 'cause it made me laugh.
Here are a couple of particularly ugly examples from the book; hope you get a giggle too! Feel free to add your own captions...
Have a good weekend one & all!

I LOVE the chicken and egg sweater! Not the baggy shape, but the idea and colours. I could see myself wearing that, even if it´s just for the stares I´d get ;)
ReplyDeleteAs horrendous as the designs are today, I'm a bit amazed by the people modelling them- very well-known British actors of the era! John Inman, Richard Briers, Joanna Lumley, and others I recognise but can't put names to faces.
