A Week of Vintage Patterns – 1961 Little Boys Sweater

August 28, 2008

This little hoodlum has the same fringe as me, so snaps to him. Give me a hoop and a stick thingy like he has, though and I wouldn’t know what to do. I certainly wouldn’t be looking pleased like he does. In fact, I’d probably fling it onto some poor Brunswick Street hipster. And there would be a big hoopla of a different kind. Or perhaps I could accidentally hoop two strangers together.. and by some strange twist of fate they will then marry and grow old together. (I saw another hoop over here.)

Whilst we are discussing this little boy, how adorable is a sweater with little shorts?! Just darling, I think. I must remember to cut the boys fringes and make them some smashing shorts. I’m putting that on my to-do list as we speak. But don’t warn them, okay? They run very fast, my boys. And they are more Brady Bunch hair then Bowl-cut, i do believe.

(I think there’s a Flickr group opportunity here too. ‘Vintage Sweater and Shorts Gang’. I won’t be in it. Shorts don’t become me. Will you be in it, I wonder?)
