Just past, actually.
A few years ago, someone gave me a book titled Kitschy Knits. It's a collection of photos from old knitting patterns with very funny descriptions written by the author. I've always enjoyed looking through old patterns (sewing, knitting, crochet, etc.) and a recent donation of unused craft items yielded some great pamphlets.
I know that a topic like this could go on forever; it's a well-traveled path and I'm no comedian, but just in case you're not aware of our past trends, I'll post a few pictures so that you won't be doomed to repeat them.
To paraphrase a line from an episode of Chappelle Show, I can't say anything about this photo that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan.
This confuses me and every time I look at it, I'm confused anew. What is this?! Did anybody every really wear anything like this? Raffia?! Look closely at this mess of raffia loops and "bangles": it's upsetting and it looks dangerously "snaggy."
Well, she LOOKS happy. Maybe she is. I can't imagine she got paid much for the photo shoot so maybe they let her keep the outfit and she really did like it.
I choose to end this brief sojourn on a positive note. I find this photo very appealing. Despite the fact that the guy on the left looks more like a college professor than a student, the image has great energy and the knits aren't half-bad either. Cute!
