"Hey Ladies!"
"Who us?"
"We're just chilling in our awesome bathers."
"Like my cravat? So do the ladies!"
"I don't know why the children always run when I wear this hat!"
I've got nothing for this spectacular pair of crochet earrings, or the rest of the awesome photos I found in The Family Book of Crochet, 1972, today. I will leave you to invent captions for the rest of these fantastic pictures yourselves...Enjoy
I hope your weekend is great, and that you decide to make something from this collection, that is if you're not already wearing one of these spectacular numbers. Personally, I've dressed my entire family in matching ponchos. They love them!

Oh my word, I've got the same book!! Got it in an antiques shop here in SA, and had to laugh at some of the pictures! But...some could well be adapted and made into something wearable :-)
ReplyDeleteI have this book too!! It's fab and back in the '70's my Mum did the trouser-suit and the poncho!! They were the height of fashion!!

Teehee :')
ReplyDeleteOMG there is more than one copy of this book left! There should be a public burning. What a hat! The beaded leggings would make my legs look like a pair of bolster cushions, lord knows what would happen to the seat of them...saggy!
ReplyDeleteYour post made me giggle :) It reminds me of a book that I own but it is my guide book on how to knit/crochet and I love it! Will have to show some of the picci's in that book too!
ReplyDeleteI might add that I really like some of the designs you have shown especially the bags.

Love those crochet flares....I want me a pair!
ReplyDeleteLove the poncho's, and my big girls all want tem. Not sure granny clusters will do it for them though. Personally I rather like the crochet flares and crop tops, but not on a 40 year old many times birthed mama..... They'd look pretty good as clubbing gear don't you think?
ReplyDeleteLove sharing vintage patterns, they're just so....wow!!
Do you think 40 years from now people will back at our projects and laugh hysterically?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering......

Ah yes, the seventies! What on earth were we thinking of! Strange times.
ReplyDeletetoo funny! I can only imagine how unattractive that swimsuit would look when wet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

These images are too cool - love them all! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure whether to cringe or laugh - 1972 - at least I can say I was only a babe...literally, but I wonder what my mum was thinking with these crafty offerings.
