YesterYear!
But first, a message from our sponsor… (Ok, no sponsor, but I’ve always wanted to say that.) Christine of the Pointy Sticks podcast is having a contest. So far all I know about it is that the details are in the podcast and the deadline is December 21.
Ok, back to YesterYear… Yikes. Apparently it’s never too early to start your baby knitting?! Don’t worry about those sharp pointy sticks. What could possibly go wrong?
For humanity’s sake, please don’t make your baby wear lederhosen!
“Please don’t make me wear those lederhosen! I’ll be good!”
Because lederhosen? Seem to bring out the wickedness within… Look out, dog!
“I’m so nervous, suddenly…” -dog
“I am so going to have nightmares now.” -M
I wish I had those Lederhosen for my kids when they were babies!!!! I bet Chaos and May are hiding in case you start knitting them and using them for models.
Poor kiddies! And Poor May! 🙂 Forget Yesteryear…where were you yesterDAY?? I’m so used to your posting schedule, I was really starting to worry!
Urk.
The “puppy that visits” could use a pair of lederhosens! Just don’t forget to put a hole in for the tail. Thanks. I’ll be expecting it in the mail 😉
DAMN! What am I gonna do with all the lederhosens I’ve been knitting up for the past few months??? No wonder Otis runs and hides 😉
OMG, those knit bloomers are just too much. LOL.
Pointy sticks and babies? Priceless.
Oh, those are great photos, Chris! I should scan the photo I’ve got of my grandma dressed head to toe in knit…
now, see, i think they’re adorable. i wouldn’t dress a kid in them today because well they’d get beat up at the play ground. but there was a time when this was what little kids wore. little boys wore lederhosen type short pants. i know. because i’m old enough to remember this.
and how cute are the little girl outfits?
May is going to have nightmares…Chris:”Great, I just finished the hand knit lederhosen….hmmm, who can I get to try them on and model them for me?” NOOOOoooooOOoooooOO!!!
Chris- I think they used to call those bloomer thingies “soakers”. And since there were no disposable diapers then, it reallt doesn’t bear thinking about, does it.
However, the Lederhosen- hmmmm………
Lederhosen… the clothing of Evil! LOL!
I was excited by your blog title – I thought we were going to see photos of your yester-year 😉 Those are hysterical!!!
Oh, May………..dogs are that bad! Come visit, and I’ll show you!!! (evil grin)
I meant, aren’t that bad. duh….
I suddenly have visions of Chaos and May modeling lederhosen. 🙂 Hey it would bring out the wickedness in me if I had to wear them. LOL!
Man oh man, how did we survive growing up in the 70’s, huh? What with all the hideous clothes and pointy sticks for toys! Those pictures are scary, Baby May, that’s for sure…
I just heard the other day that the reason they no long make Jack In the Boxes is because too many kids were getting whacked in the face by them! I laughed, anyway…
I imagine those are The Harlot’s children in the first picture. 6 months and knitting socks. In their sleep.
Those lederhosen are totally priceless!
LOL – i LOVE that you find these gems for us!
lederhosen? what have you got against lederhosen?
LOL Everytime I try to knit for babies they outgrow what I’m making before I finish.
Poor May! I’m afraid of them, too!
(((hugs)))
At first I thought that was going to be a picture of you as a baby!
What was the NASCAR mystery?? Just because I go at 350 mph doesn’t mean I like it! I am thinking I need to take a months vacation to some slow paced locale where it’s cool enough to knit outside! No bugs, no humidity, no cold, just nice gentle breezes and warm sun. Paradise!
It appears that May has whiskers again? Has Chaos stopped chewing them off?
OH HO – that photo of May is a hoot!
heh heh heh. May the nightmares never go away when there are so many vintage ugly patterns out there.
My hubby has a lederhosen apron, it’s hilarious.
It’s all fun and games until someone puts an eye out.
May looks guarded. And whiskered. Yay! Has Chaos stopped munching on them?
I’ve decided that funny clothes for kids is a grandmother’s prerogative. I’ve actually looked at some of those cutesy kind of outfits my mother selected for my kids many years ago. Maybe it’s just fond memories, but it scares me. Cutesy is really not my style. Do you think it comes with grandma status?
Love the pics!
weird that may has a larger white spot on her chest… just like MY other black cat! (who’s name is danger… danger and mayhem… cosmo and chaos). I think black cats have the best names.
Great vintage pictures! Ooh – and I see what CarrieK sees about the whiskers. Is May taking care of her own washing duties now to keep Chaos from eating them?
I’m with May on this…those pics are the stuff of nightmares in a “Boys from Brazil” sort of way. Eeeek.
Yea – just because people CAN knit – doesn’t always mean that they should!
Good freakin’ grief!?! Why would someone subject their poor child to wear such ridiculous clothes? Why would someone waste their time on it? Eesh, people are weird! How are May’s stitches doing?
My parents have pics of me in real lederhosen, you know, the leather ones, when I was maybe two or so. No wonder I turned out the way I did.
Knit Lederhosen. I think I might cry!
So? Have you listened to the podcast yet? I’m anxiously waiting for your entry! *grin*
