Goodbye normal jeans

[susie_flo]

Today I'm wearing my first item of official maternity clothing....  a pair of jeans from "Fun Mum".  They look like jeans but feel like track suit bottoms...  it is loungewear heaven.  (I'm not sure if I will ever wear normal jeans again)

Thanks for your tips about comforting coldy drinks.  I've just had a hot ribena with cloves and extra honey, which was very soothing indeed.

I really can't be bothered to go laptop shopping though.  (Am making do with netbook for now.)

This morning I've had a few chuckles from a new batch of vintage knitting patterns from ms_siobhan.  I especially like this one...  which I might have to send to my step-dad, Bob, as it is exactly how I imagine him in his youth :-)

Ah the joys of double knitting patterns - am impressed that in those far off pre decimalisation days they had something called StarFlek Wool - do you think that made jumpers for Captain Kirk?

What do you think of the 80's pixie?

If I were making jumpers for Kirk, I think I might go for the "super nylon wool" myself.

The 80s pixie looks like she's recording her own home video audition for a Duran Duran video...

Does super nylon wool come with a built in corset though? or integral hairdye?

I knew she reminded me of something - I just couldn't think what. I wonder if her name is Rio?

Best subject line ever.

I wish I could take the credit, but it was G's line.
The best I could do was share it...

Re: pattern.

1) Is "Sirdar" anything like "Gaydar"?
2) I see that he's got wood.

APPLAUSE :-)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's like gaydar for school teachers!

Top punning!

I have a few vintage patterns. This one never fails to make me smile. The mittens!

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

I can't see the mittens - show me!

D'oh, linking from a password-protected Dropbox, what an eejit.

Hope this works

Hee hee! Those modelling shoots are brilliant!

I'm trying to work out whose membership handbook he's reading in the first pic... (the monogram appears to suggest AA)

[lazy-hoor.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! I hadn't noticed that before.

If you desire gloves for pipe-smoking, I will send you the pattern...

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the original AA logo.

Bottom left ones look like oven gloves. Bottom right picture - yes, I too would try and hide my face were I to be wearing these.

OMG I bought that very sweater from Banana Repb on sale yesterday.

Bye the Bye, I saw the most adorable swing line cardi on Ravelry today. Looks like it might be rather fetching with your new treggins.
