There's just something about Australiana..

that made this little gem impossible to resist from the op shop.

Tomorrow is my BIL Lachie's birthday and how stoked am I that I found this stunning jumper for him just in time, obviously I won't have it knitted by tomorrow but hey the thought is there and I'm sure he'll appreciate it. I mean just look at it, what red-blooded Aussie male wouldn't?



Just kidding folks, Lachie would probably vomit if I made that for him LOL

Here are some other vomitworthy contenders:
check out the leg warmers and matching cardy, in particular the fluffy sheep pockets

Seriously no one could have possibly knitted this pattern!!!!

And this is just wrong on so many levels I can't even beginto start

I've often considered mixing fabric and wool, but not quite like this!!

And what about some lovely homewares?
