today’s fare
i bought that top one because it reminded me of a 1980s music video and i wanted to either talk about it on the blog or give it away on the blog. here’s the back
Patons Beehive: The Bumper Beehive Book (c) 1982. the inside is no less funny than the outside.
this one is out of Stylish Knitting: the top international knitting magazine. (c) november 1986. lots of good 1980s intarsia in this one.
from Spinnovations 15: Idea Book… sweaterdressing, the shape of fall. (c) 1978. i love this sweater and there are several other very nice retro chic knits on fine-ish yarn in this one.

Your archive – oops! storage – oops! junk pile – must look like mine! You’ve given me incentive to go through the boxes today. No telling what amazing yarns, patterns, bobbles I might find … maybe even an old picture of my own side ponytail!!!! Still love that lemon bolero!!! woo hoo!
I think we should bring back the side pony. I definitely rocked it as often as possible as a kid.
Ah, the eighties. Count me in!
What a flashback to my teen years. I love the gray sweater with the gold bracelet in the first pic.;)
you know i love the 80s. if my hair was long enough, i would rock the side ponytail on a regular basis. (maybe).
GASP! The 80’s music video like spread is amazing! I love the water splash sweater!
Hee, side ponytails! Though those are still better than the ‘paml tree’ hairstyle my parents forced me into when I was a wee one in the 80s. :p
I love the last sweater! I always had side ponytails in the 80! I chew some fancy gum, wore an embarassing yellow sweater and had ponytails. Ah…..
Those pictures are hilarious. Especially the back. I’m actually laughing at them at work.
Oh my.
I often wore a side ponytail! Bring it on!
I used to wear a side ponytail with stirrup pants and big slouchy socks. Not sure if I could still rock that look, but some of those vintage patterns are amazing.
