So bad it's good!

How cool is this? I'm loving the matching buffalo and the acceptability of pipe smoking and Native Americans shooting endangered species to advertise a knitting pattern.

I picked this up from the Grumperina blog ( see link left ). She has offered to complete this garment which was started many years ago. That's one offer I would not be making.
Sadly, I am old enough to remember when these sweaters were the height of fashion but thankfully no relation of mine was ever seen to wear one in public.

I have done some intarsia work in the past when my kids were small and I made Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine sweaters. Somehow I don't think intarsia ever looks good on adults
but maybe I'm just not cool enough!

we must be about the same age - my whole family had those sweaters but not the buffalo one but blue ones with fish (live on an island)
