Christmas Quiz



This is page 129 of Practical Home Knitting published by Odhams in 1949, full of patterns for all the family.

This title of this pattern is " For a young man about the house  ...  Useful polo-neck sweater"

I hope this teen-age youth took good care of this polo-neck sweater, wore it only at week-ends and wasn't too rough with Mother's careful ribbing.  All told, he's looking pretty baleful.  Perhaps she'd ticked him off for leaving it under a pile of dirty socks.

I always found this picture rather amusing, until one day I suddenly realised that it is in fact completely rippingly hilarious.  Can you see why?

Answer next Saturday.

Hello Meridlin.  Thank you for joining!
