A workmate gave me this classic 1980's Aussie knitting book.


So PC!

Remember that 'life be in it' guy - Norm? or something?

With a hairdoo to match the cockatoo.

Don't laugh but I used to make those fimo cockatoo brooches and sell them to my mates at school:0)

Yeah what do you think serioiusly about the knitalong? I could make up a button, it would be funny to see who would join in?
