This year's treat for your eyes is another awesome photo of me when I was younger. For some reason I appear to be strangling the cat but as this cat lived a long and healthy life I'm sure that's not what is happening here!
The cardigan I'm wearing was knitted for me by my Mum, I remember it well. It was a long length, with a bit of a collar which you can just about make out in the photo. I'm guessing this photo is early 80's probably 1982/3, those glasses give me a bit of a "Harry Potter" look don't they!
The cute thing is that I think Mum had one of these cardigans too, I'm sure we had matching ones even though I've not been able to find any photos of us wearing them together.
So today I'm remembered my Mum and her brilliant knitting skills.

That is a sweet photo of you. I do like cable knitted cardi/jumpers they look so cosy.
ReplyDeleteI think you are being kind, but thanks! I loved that cardie, I think I may have the pattern somewhere so maybe one day I'll make myself another.
DeleteWhat a lovely way to celebrate your mum's life on her birthday Julie.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shaz.
DeleteJust beautiful. Xox
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely cardi. My mum and I had matching boiler suits, she called them something else though (flying suits??). It would have been about 1985. Hoping they don't make a comeback!
ReplyDeleteI remember flying suits, they were a pain when you needed the loo as you had to take the whole thing off! I'm in 2 minds about matching outfits, as a little kid I loved it but when I see it on other people I'm thinking "hummm!"
DeleteWhat a sweet little photo of you and the kitty! Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop & Link Party
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cardi and so nice that your mum made it for you.
