This looks like a photo from a knitting pattern that my Mum had in the 1950s  ;D

This was store bought, nothing but the best.
Apart from that mother couldn't knit.
She did learn eventually & I had a lovely range of balaclavas
& swimming trunks.

What, you mean you never had mittens attached to a cord that slotted through the sleeves of your jacket  ??? My Mum used to knit for the neighbour's children and "Layettes" for new born babies...it was quite lucrative for her  ;D

Jim, do you have any embarrassing tales to tell about those woolly trunks?  ;)

Dangerous when wet?

Thanks Mozza29 another good one from you. I look very healthy.

Jim you were adorable ! Such a lovely little boy awwww.
The downside is that aunties wanted to kiss & cuddle me which didn't do
my street cred at nursery school any good.
It wasn't long after this was taken I escaped & caught by mom at
the bottom of our road.

Yes definitely made for cuddles and kisses  ;D
Were you in a lot of trouble for escaping or did you give Mum a big smile and get  away with it ?
