eye candy friday

Published by Mintyfresh at 7:00 am under eye candy friday, project spectrum

Perhaps the most self-indulgent eye candy friday of all, but it actually has some knitting content, and most eye candys don’t. Check it out: My mom knit the sweater I’m wearing! Yes, this is a photo of me. It was my own idea to push up the cuffs so high, she tells me (I have zero recollection of this). I’m about 4 1/2 years old here; the photo was taken–or rather, developed–in July 1982. I just love the colors in this shot.

Edited to add: I just realized that this shot is totally Project Spectrum appropriate!

    Aww! Remember when having a butterfly painted on your face was just the be-all and end-all of happiness?

    Cute! You look like you are planning on getting even for having your picture taken or are planning some sort of trouble. ;)

    You’re such a cutie! You’re right — the colors in this shot are great. They’re so vibrant.

    Whose idea was it to match the chair to your clothes? Very cute!

    I think you just wanted to have butterfly sleeves to match your facial butterflies! The cuteness factor is overwhelming….

    I’m smitten. I’m also impressed — the sleeve choice is so stylish! (I think I spent all of 1982 in overalls…)

    i say let’s bring the sleeve style back.

    What a beautiful happy picture of you!

    I like your touch of the pouffy sleeves.

    I love that the colours in your (very stylish) outfit match the webbing in the chair!

  12. # Sarahon 27 Apr 2007 at 12:56 pm

    I love how you match the chair. I was in highschool in 1982…

    Cute as a button! I’ll try to remember your scrunched up sleeves when my daughter wants to do goofy things with her clothes.

    that is so freakin cute! i like how your outfit matches your lawn chair. very classy!

  15. # Deeon 27 Apr 2007 at 1:17 pm

    Awwww…..you were a cute kid! The sweater is beautiful. I see where you got your talent for knitting!

  16. # Elinoron 27 Apr 2007 at 1:18 pm

    Heh. That’s pretty cute. At least you don’t have a Punky Brewster pigtail and pegged white jeans? Kidding…

  17. # Lollyon 27 Apr 2007 at 1:24 pm

    Your clothes match the lawn chair :) I love this picture. And the poof sleeves are a nice little fashion statement!

    What a great shot to have! That yellow is fabulous and it’s very cool to see that you already had such a great sense of style at 4 1/2 (referring to your alterations of the design by pushing up the cuffs) haha.

    So cute! You’re right, the colors are great. And I love the impish expression on your face!

  20. # novaon 27 Apr 2007 at 2:03 pm

    You have a little mischievous expression on your face, love it! I spent most of 1982 wearing pink. It was a travesty.

  21. # Karenon 27 Apr 2007 at 2:23 pm

    What a great picture!! I love seeing pictures of friends when they were little. :) Thanks!!

  22. # Kellyon 27 Apr 2007 at 3:15 pm

    What a cutie! I love those 70’s / early 80’s color combos. totally sesame street!

  23. # Momon 27 Apr 2007 at 3:54 pm

    Awwww :)

    I remember the pattern called for size “00″ needles! I couldn’t find them that small so I just made the sweater on size “0″. Which is like knitting with angel hair pasta! But worth it for such a cute kid!

    Oh CUTE! You really did coordinate with that chair!

  25. # Mickion 27 Apr 2007 at 5:53 pm

    Well, here’s proof that you’ve always been a fashionista! I dig the face painting/tattoo.

  26. # Code Purlon 27 Apr 2007 at 6:26 pm

    You look like you’re up to no good in that pic. I guess not much has changed ;-)

  27. # Jenon 27 Apr 2007 at 7:43 pm

    HAH! That’s great!

  28. # Brendaon 27 Apr 2007 at 9:09 pm

    Very cute! I graduated from high school in 1982. I feel old!

  29. # Emon 27 Apr 2007 at 10:30 pm

    Awwww, so cute!!! My Papa had that same lawn chair. the ’80s were so special.

  30. # Zondaon 27 Apr 2007 at 11:46 pm

    Awwwww, what a bright spark!

  34. # Colletteon 28 Apr 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Oh my gosh! How cute are you? I love that mischievous look. And the pigtails–the sweet, sweet pigtails.

  35. # schrodingeron 28 Apr 2007 at 4:44 pm

    Totally adorable, you have clothes on that colour-coordinate with the chair!!

    That is soooo cute! What a keepsake photo!

    I know I am late on this, but your skirt is totally awesome! Fantastic job, and it looks fantastic on you!

  39. # Rachelon 29 Apr 2007 at 3:48 pm

    Wow, did you ALWAYS dress to match the furniture?

    You’re totally adorable, of course, and I love the distinct fashion sense you imposed on your clothing. :)
