Pleepsie Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 As a child, I was regularly given a hand knitted vest of extreme itchyness as a christmas pressie, and was forced to wear it 8O Has any other poor soul endured such pugatory? or perhaps it was extasy!!! Or is there another knitted item even more painfull to wear! your views would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Or is there another knitted item even more painfull to wear! Drawers? 8O (Not that I'd know, but the thought of it is fit to bring tears to a glass eye......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooze Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 OH god yeah!!!!!!!!!! - My great Aunt used to make them for me for the winter. "it'll keep de warm" 8O ....groan.There were long and short sleeved ones - hellish scratchy, had to use baby talc to get by - I was mortified at Primary school when we had to do gym in vest and navy pants! - so my 'unique' woolly vest was on show to the hoots of my peers. shudder............... nasty!

fratelli Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 My aunt knitted my sister a authentic Shetland Wool Fair Isle thong for her henny... That would be types of itchy that I don't even want to think about!! I'm not sure if she ever wore them but they could explain her bizarre dancing later that night at Posers. Or maybe it was the double gins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarotangel Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Oh memories of childhood. I mind getting forced to wear a Fair Isle tank top over a blouse a lot because Mam thought I looked "aaful boanie" in it. I just remember it being so itchy the whole time.

Njugle Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Plenty of Fair Isle garmentation on show at the notorious "Yokfest" the weekend before last, including at least one thong! Wisely worn over clothes though. Some very nice tasteful miniskirts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
